Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

About our non-slip bath coating in Gregson Lane

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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

Landlord and trade work in Gregson Lane

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Gregson Lane

Do I need to be at home?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
