Non-slip bath coating for Hemel Hempstead homes

Non-slip bath coating in Hemel Hempstead without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

What affects the price in Hemel Hempstead

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What we’re called out for in Hemel Hempstead

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

FAQs for Hemel Hempstead

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Hemel Hempstead?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are there extra charges for Hemel Hempstead?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hemel Hempstead

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Hemel Hempstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
