About our non-slip bath coating in Upper Hardres

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Hardres

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upper Hardres as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Upper Hardres

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.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How the colour is matched
  • How soon you can use it again
