Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kilmington
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common problems we fix in Kilmington

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no charge for travel to Kilmington. The price depends on:
- The material and finish

- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
- The material, if you know it
Most clients in Kilmington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

More services for Kilmington
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kilmington questions
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Kilmington?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
