What affects the price in Longfield

There is no area surcharge for Longfield. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

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.

Non-slip bath coating in Longfield without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Longfield and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

For anyone letting property in or around Longfield, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

When to call us in Longfield

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Longfield

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

What happens on the day

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 morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price 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.

Questions from Longfield

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will I see the coating?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Do you cover the entire of Kent?

All of Kent, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
