Non-slip bath coating in Calcott, done in place
It’s popular with 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 work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Calcott and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Calcott?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Calcott: your questions answered
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
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 usually cheaper.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
What affects the price in Calcott
There’s no area surcharge for Calcott. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Calcott get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
