Bassett questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you work in Bassett?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bassett and the rest of Southampton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you cover the entire of Southampton?

We cover the whole UK, including Bassett and the rest of Southampton. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bassett

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

  • One visit for most repairs

  • No extra charge for your area

What affects the price in Bassett

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs 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 price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bassett use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we are called out for in Bassett

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

The things clients normally mention when they call include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
