Non-slip bath coating near Burlings

Non-slip bath coating in Burlings without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Burlings

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Burlings as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

What affects the price in Burlings

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Burlings questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Burlings and the rest of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.
