Non-Slip Bath Coating for Upstreet homes

- Worn-out textured areas

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upstreet
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Upstreet
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
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.

For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Upstreet use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not 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.

Common questions in Upstreet
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Upstreet and the rest of Kent. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Do you cover Upstreet?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Upstreet from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CT3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Upstreet
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure
- How to care for the finish
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- What happens if they find more damage
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and 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 items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
