Non-slip bath coating for Folly Town homes

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 treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Non-slip bath coating in Folly Town without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Folly Town and across Kent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Folly Town

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Folly Town get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Folly Town

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People typically call us after spotting something like this:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
