Non-Slip Bath Coating in Hawkinge

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hawkinge
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Hawkinge
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repairing versus replacing in Hawkinge
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hawkinge
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Kent. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
When to call us in Hawkinge
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How changes to the job are handled
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
