Non-slip bath coating in Manston, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Manston
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Manston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to Manston. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Advice
What we are called out for in Manston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before you book anyone
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether a trained technician does the job

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
