Our hiring checklist

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Selsted

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave 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. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What affects the price in Selsted

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CT15 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we work on in Selsted

Repair or replace in Selsted?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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