FAQs for Hempstead
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Hempstead?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hempstead. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Non-slip bath coating in Hempstead without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Hempstead
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Common problems we fix in Hempstead
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
What we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Most clients in Hempstead get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
What a repair can’t fix
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
