Common questions in Codicote Bottom

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Codicote Bottom.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Codicote Bottom

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Codicote Bottom

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Codicote Bottom

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Codicote Bottom

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Ensure the area is dry
