About our non-slip bath coating in Newnham

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Newnham and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Newnham. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Newnham get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Newnham?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before you book

Newnham: your questions answered

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Newnham?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

The entire UK, including all of Kent. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

For landlords and businesses

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.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
