Common questions in High Spen

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in High Spen?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Do you cover the whole of Gateshead?

The entire UK, including all of Gateshead. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in High Spen

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

There is 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
