Non-Slip Bath Coating for Hoaden homes
Non-slip bath coating in and around Hoaden: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Non-slip bath coating in Hoaden, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers usually mention when they call are:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking

- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again

When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Materials we work on in Hoaden

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
