Non-slip bath & shower coating in Birling, Kent
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Birling, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Non-slip bath coating in Birling without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Birling
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Why us?
- One visit for most repairs
- We leave the room as we found it
- Everything repaired in place
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
See our full price list.
How the visit works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Birling
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you come to Birling?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Birling and the rest of Kent. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What areas do you cover?
All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Common problems we fix in Birling
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People generally call us after spotting something like this:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if they find more damage
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- What protection goes down before work starts
Landlords, agents and businesses in Birling
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Birling. What changes the price is:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
