What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Anthorn and the rest of Cumbria. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Anthorn.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Non-slip bath coating in Anthorn, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Anthorn

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Landlord and trade work in Anthorn

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Anthorn as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we’re called out for in Anthorn

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Anthorn

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

Repairing versus replacing in Anthorn

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
