Non-slip bath coating for Rochester Riverside homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Rochester Riverside

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Medway. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Rochester Riverside. The price reflects:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Medway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

When to call us in Rochester Riverside

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common questions in Rochester Riverside

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
