Need non-slip bath coating in Marley?

Marley: your questions answered

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

Across the UK, and that includes Marley. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

About our non-slip bath coating in Marley

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Marley. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

If you’re in Marley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for 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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Marley customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Marley

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
