FAQs for Astley Bridge

Do you come to Astley Bridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Astley Bridge and the rest of Bolton. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Non-slip bath coating in Astley Bridge without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

What we cannot put right

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Astley Bridge

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Astley Bridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Repair or replace in Astley Bridge?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Astley Bridge. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No extra charge for your area
