Questions from Chingford Hatch

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How do I clean it?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Chingford Hatch

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Chingford Hatch?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll say what we think.
