About our non-slip bath coating in Hucking
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hucking
For anyone letting property in or around Hucking, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Getting a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer
It helps to know what we can’t do:

What we’re called out for in Hucking
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Hucking
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover Hucking?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hucking and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
