Non-slip bath coating in Charlton-in-Dover

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Charlton-in-Dover

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Charlton-in-Dover

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

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.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Charlton-in-Dover

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

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 make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Charlton-in-Dover

For anyone letting property in or around Charlton-in-Dover, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
