Non-slip bath coating at your home in Smeeth
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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair can’t fix
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:
- 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 before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Smeeth
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Before you book anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- How long it needs to cure
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

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

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
