About our non-slip bath coating in East Stourmouth

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common problems we fix in East Stourmouth

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from East Stourmouth

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in East Stourmouth?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
