Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Non-slip bath coating in Palm Bay without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Palm Bay and across Kent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Palm Bay
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Do you come to Palm Bay?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Palm Bay. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Palm Bay?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What affects the price in Palm Bay
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most customers in Palm Bay get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
