Non-slip bath coating near Hatfield

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating in Hatfield, 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. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hatfield and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Hatfield. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hatfield

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is it messy?

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

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hatfield?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AL10 postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow 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.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hatfield, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Hatfield?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hatfield as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
