Landlords, agents and businesses in Furness Vale

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our non-slip bath coating in Furness Vale

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Furness Vale questions

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you come to Furness Vale?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Furness Vale from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What affects the price in Furness Vale

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Furness Vale?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
