About our non-slip bath coating in Thanington
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?
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. There are no surprise 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 typically 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 affects the price in Thanington
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- The material
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Thanington, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Thanington
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- Whether a trained technician does the job

Common questions in Thanington
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
