Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Burham
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Burham and across Medway. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A photo taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Burham
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Medway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
