Non-slip bath coating for Kearsney homes

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, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kearsney

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Kearsney: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are there extra charges for Kearsney?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do you work in Kearsney?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kearsney and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Kearsney?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Kearsney

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kearsney

For anyone letting property in or around Kearsney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
