Repairing versus replacing in How End

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

About our non-slip bath coating in How End

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in How End

Common questions in How End

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.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in How End

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
