Non-slip bath coating near Thong

Non-slip bath coating in Thong, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Thong and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Thong

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Kent and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Thong?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Repair or replace in Thong?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • One visit for most repairs

See our prices page.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Thong

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Thong is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
