Common questions in Garton-on-the-Wolds

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Non-slip bath coating in Garton-on-the-Wolds without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Riding of Yorkshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

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 morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Garton-on-the-Wolds. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Garton-on-the-Wolds get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
