Non-slip bath coating near Sarre

Non-slip bath coating in Sarre, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Most customers in Sarre get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Sarre: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Will there be a smell?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover Sarre?

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Sarre, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Repair or replace in Sarre?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
