DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Caldbeck

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. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Caldbeck

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

What affects the price in Caldbeck

We do not charge extra for travel to Caldbeck. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is my repair covered?
