When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Small Hythe

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Small Hythe

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Small Hythe and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Small Hythe?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

When to call us in Small Hythe

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no area surcharge for Small Hythe. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
