What affects the price in Hedge End

There’s no area surcharge for Hedge End. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Hedge End, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Landlord and trade work in Hedge End

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the whole UK

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Hedge End questions

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the entire of Hampshire?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
