Book non-slip bath coating in Cliftonville

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cliftonville

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cliftonville and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Cliftonville

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Cliftonville. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Cliftonville, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Cliftonville?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
