DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hooe

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A photo taken from further back

Most customers in Hooe get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Hooe

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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 we’re called out for in Hooe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Hooe: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
