Non-slip bath coating for Hildenborough homes

Non-slip bath coating in Hildenborough, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Hildenborough: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Hildenborough

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Hildenborough. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN11 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we can’t put right

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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
