Non-slip bath coating in Bishopsbourne without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bishopsbourne, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repairing versus replacing in Bishopsbourne

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 adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Common questions in Bishopsbourne

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work in Bishopsbourne?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bishopsbourne and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Common problems we fix in Bishopsbourne

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bishopsbourne. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
