Non-Slip Bath Coating in New Barn
Our repair technicians come to New Barn for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for New Barn. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why New Barn customers choose us
- Generally one visit, start to finish
- Fixed prices from your pictures
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Non-slip bath coating in New Barn 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 worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in New Barn and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Look out for any of the following:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Can I fix it myself?
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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DA3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What else we do in New Barn
New Barn: your questions answered
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Kent.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
When a repair is not the answer
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
