Non-slip bath coating in Woodchurch

Non-slip bath coating in Woodchurch, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Woodchurch. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Woodchurch. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Woodchurch, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Woodchurch

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you come to Woodchurch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Woodchurch and the rest of Kent. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When to call us in Woodchurch

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before booking anyone

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
