Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hever

It’s popular with 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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Hever

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Hever

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
