Non-slip bath coating in East Street without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in East Street and across Kent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in East Street

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in East Street, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace in East Street?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for East Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
