Common problems we fix in Kempston

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in Kempston, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Kempston. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

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

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

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

Common questions in Kempston

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will I see the coating?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Kempston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
