Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chelsfield

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Chelsfield

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

For a price in Chelsfield, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Chelsfield. What changes the price is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Chelsfield?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Chelsfield clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in Chelsfield

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

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

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

Will it make a mess?

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

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When we would advise against a repair

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

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
