Landlord and trade work in Huthwaite

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Huthwaite

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Huthwaite

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

When to call us in Huthwaite

Smooth surfaces are 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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Huthwaite: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Huthwaite?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Huthwaite for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Repairing versus replacing in Huthwaite

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
