When to call us in Frindsbury

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Frindsbury

Do you cover Frindsbury?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Frindsbury from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you cover the entire of Medway?

The entire UK, including all of Medway. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

What affects the price in Frindsbury

There is no area surcharge for Frindsbury. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you are in Frindsbury and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Frindsbury

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Read our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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 frequently lifts.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot 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 you book.

Surfaces we repair

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