Castleton: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Non-slip bath coating in Castleton without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Castleton

If you manage property in Castleton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Castleton. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Castleton

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
