Non-slip bath coating in Shorne Ridgeway without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Should you replace it?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shorne Ridgeway, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Shorne Ridgeway

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Kent.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your DA12 postcode.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
