Non-slip bath coating in Dungeness without replacing anything

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 worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Dungeness

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Dungeness

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Dungeness?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

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.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Dungeness. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Dungeness, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Dungeness

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
