Non-slip bath coating near Speed Gate

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Speed Gate

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Speed Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

10 questions to ask before booking

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Speed Gate

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

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

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

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Speed Gate?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Do you work in Speed Gate?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Speed Gate and the rest of Kent. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Speed Gate

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
