Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hicks Forstal, Kent
Local non-slip bath coating for Hicks Forstal: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Can I fix it myself?
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Non-slip bath coating in Hicks Forstal 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. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
