FAQs for Hartcliffe

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Are there extra charges for Hartcliffe?

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

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

About our non-slip bath coating in Hartcliffe

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Hartcliffe

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Hartcliffe

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Bristol and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in Hartcliffe, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hartcliffe?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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