Non-slip bath coating near Headcorn

About our non-slip bath coating in Headcorn

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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.

What a repair can’t fix

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

Common questions in Headcorn

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Headcorn?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Repair or replace in Headcorn?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used 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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Most customers in Headcorn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What affects the price in Headcorn

We don’t charge extra for travel to Headcorn. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
