Non-slip bath coating for Broadstairs homes

Non-slip bath coating in Broadstairs without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Broadstairs

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you cover Broadstairs?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Broadstairs?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Broadstairs. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Broadstairs

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Broadstairs

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
