What affects the price in Wateringbury
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Non-slip bath coating in Wateringbury, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
When to call us in Wateringbury
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Wateringbury: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Do you work in Wateringbury?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wateringbury and the rest of Kent. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
