Non-slip bath coating in Hythe, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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 you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When to call us in Hythe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- How to look after the finish
- How the colour is matched
- How your room will be protected
- How long it needs to cure
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Hythe
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Do you cover Hythe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Hythe. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hythe?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Hythe. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
