Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Coniston. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Coniston

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Coniston as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Coniston questions

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you come to Coniston?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Coniston from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What a repair can’t fix

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
