About our non-slip bath coating in Lower Upnor

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 regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How it works

When we visit, 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 morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lower Upnor

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Lower Upnor

Do you work in Lower Upnor?

We do. We send a technician to Lower Upnor for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you charge for travel?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Lower Upnor and the rest of Medway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
