Non-slip bath coating for Kempston Hardwick homes

Non-slip bath coating in Kempston Hardwick, done in place

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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bedford Borough. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Kempston Hardwick questions

Are you accredited?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Do you come to Kempston Hardwick?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kempston Hardwick and the rest of Bedford Borough. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Kempston Hardwick

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Kempston Hardwick. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Kempston Hardwick, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Kempston Hardwick

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
