About our non-slip bath coating in Bicknor
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Bicknor
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Bicknor?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your ME9 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Kent.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bicknor
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What affects the price in Bicknor
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bicknor. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Common problems we fix in Bicknor
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The things clients normally mention when they call include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
