Non-Slip Bath Coating for Henhurst homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Henhurst, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Should you replace it?
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Henhurst without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Henhurst. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Henhurst questions
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Henhurst?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Henhurst and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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

What happens on the day
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
