Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating in Hensting, 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. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hensting and across Hampshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK

Questions from Hensting

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hensting?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Does someone need to be in?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What affects the price in Hensting

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hensting. The price comes down to:

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

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SO50 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
