Trusted non-slip bath coating in Hawkhurst

Non-slip bath coating in Hawkhurst, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hawkhurst and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Hawkhurst

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hawkhurst included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Hawkhurst?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hawkhurst for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hawkhurst. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
