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. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Cobham: your questions answered
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you cover the entire of Kent?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Cobham. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Have a window or extractor fan available
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Cobham?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who will actually do the work

What affects the price in Cobham
There is no charge for travel to Cobham. The price depends on:
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
