Book non-slip bath coating in Hersden

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hersden

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Hersden?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

See our full price list.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Hersden

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

Hersden: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

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

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CT3 postcode.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

Everywhere in the UK, Hersden included. There is no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Hersden, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in Hersden

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Hersden

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
