Common questions in Bickleigh
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Bickleigh. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you come to Bickleigh?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Bickleigh. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bickleigh
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Repair or replace in Bickleigh?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bickleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
