Non-slip bath coating at your home in Staplehurst
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.

FAQs for Staplehurst
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you cover Staplehurst?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Staplehurst. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Staplehurst, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Landlords, agents and businesses in Staplehurst
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Kent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Staplehurst?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the area is dry
