Non-slip bath coating for Kemsing homes

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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.

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kemsing

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

For landlords and businesses

Kemsing: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

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. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you work in Kemsing?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Repair or replace in Kemsing?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
