About our non-slip bath coating in Southernden
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you charge for travel?

Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
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.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Southernden?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Southernden?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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 generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Ensure the area is dry

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
For a price in Southernden, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths

Repairing versus replacing in Southernden
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
