What affects the price in Kirkpatrick Durham

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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

Non-slip bath coating in Kirkpatrick Durham, done in place

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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kirkpatrick Durham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kirkpatrick Durham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our pricing.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kirkpatrick Durham

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Kirkpatrick Durham

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work in Kirkpatrick Durham?

We do. Technicians travel to Kirkpatrick Durham from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
