Landlords, agents and businesses in Blackshaw Head

If you manage property in Blackshaw Head, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Blackshaw Head

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Blackshaw Head and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Blackshaw Head. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

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

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common questions in Blackshaw Head

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I clean it?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Common problems we fix in Blackshaw Head

Smooth surfaces are 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 are asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Blackshaw Head

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
