What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

About our non-slip bath coating in Markbeech
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Markbeech
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Repairing versus replacing in Markbeech
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work

- The material
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
