Landlords, agents and businesses in Farringdon

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Farringdon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Non-slip bath coating in Farringdon, done in place

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. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Farringdon

Repair or replace in Farringdon?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Farringdon

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

Farringdon questions

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally 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’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Farringdon

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
