Non-slip bath coating in Maidstone without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Maidstone and across Kent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.
When to call us in Maidstone
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Maidstone contact us are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What to look for in a quote

- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- 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 price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
The process
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
How to get a price
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.

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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)

Repairing versus replacing in Maidstone
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Questions from Maidstone
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is repairing better than replacing?

What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
