Landlord and trade work in Pembury
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
About our non-slip bath coating in Pembury
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Common questions in Pembury
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for Pembury. What changes the price is:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Pembury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed quote
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
