Questions from Whitstable
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Whitstable
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 worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Whitstable and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Advice
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Whitstable?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before booking anyone
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find more damage
- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Whitstable use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
For a price in Whitstable, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
