Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Blackheath. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

About our non-slip bath coating in Blackheath

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. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Blackheath questions

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.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

What we are called out for in Blackheath

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 most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Comparing quotes

  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
