DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Non-slip bath coating in Tenterden without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Tenterden
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Ensure the area is dry
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Tenterden
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
