For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Non-slip bath coating in Hackington without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Hackington
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What information do you need?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
Repairing versus replacing in Hackington
Instead, you could go for 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 normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
