What affects the price in High Street

We do not charge extra for travel to High Street. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in High Street, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in High Street?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Common questions in High Street

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will I see the coating?

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

Are there extra charges for High Street?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s 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.
