Need non-slip bath coating in Lashenden?

Non-slip bath coating in Lashenden without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Lashenden

Do you charge for travel?

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

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.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

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

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

When can you do it?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

When to call us in Lashenden

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What affects the price in Lashenden

There is no charge for travel to Lashenden. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lashenden. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

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 depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
