Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Groombridge
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Groombridge
How quickly can you book me in?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Groombridge and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.
What information do you need?

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
