Non-slip bath coating for Hockenden homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hockenden

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Hockenden

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Hockenden?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do you come to Hockenden?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hockenden from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you cover the whole of Kent?

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

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can landlords book you?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hockenden

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hockenden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repairing versus replacing in Hockenden

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
