About our non-slip bath coating in Penshurst

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Penshurst

  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Questions from Penshurst

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.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work in Penshurst?

We do. We send a technician to Penshurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What affects the price in Penshurst

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Penshurst, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Penshurst

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
