Birkhill: your questions answered

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Birkhill?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Non-slip bath coating in Birkhill, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For anyone letting property in or around Birkhill, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we are called out for in Birkhill

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DD2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 will not last.
