Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Bouldnor, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bouldnor

It suits 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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bouldnor

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

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