Non-slip bath & shower coating in Cranbrook, Kent
Non-slip bath coating across Cranbrook and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cranbrook
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlord and trade work in Cranbrook
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cranbrook use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Materials we repair
- Shower trays

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Cranbrook. The price reflects:
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Repair or replace in Cranbrook?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
