Common questions in Cold Norton

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Cold Norton?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cold Norton and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Cold Norton and the rest of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Non-slip bath coating in Cold Norton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cold Norton as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cold Norton

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Cold Norton

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Cold Norton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Everything repaired in place

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
