What affects the price in Carrington

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Carrington, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our non-slip bath coating in Carrington

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Carrington

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Carrington?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 do, step by step

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Carrington

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
