Non-slip bath coating in Hempsted, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Hempsted: your questions answered
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Are there extra charges for Hempsted?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Hempsted?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first.
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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.
Landlord and trade work in Hempsted
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hempsted as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Hempsted, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repairing versus replacing in Hempsted
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
