Non-slip bath coating at your home in Old Hawkinge
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Old Hawkinge questions
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Do you cover the whole of Kent?
Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
What a repair can’t fix
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Old Hawkinge?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
