Landlord and trade work in Knave-Go-By

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Knave-Go-By as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Knave-Go-By

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Knave-Go-By

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Knave-Go-By?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but 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’re called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Choosing a repair company

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
