What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again. Somewhere like Lochcarron needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. We bring everything needed for the non-slip bath coating, so there is no second trip.

  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, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Replacement in Lochcarron means trades, travel and waste removal, while non-slip bath coating is one trip.

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Fixed quotes from pictures

Questions from Lochcarron

Is it worth repairing old baths and shower trays in a period home in Lochcarron?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are normally worth keeping. Send us photos and we will tell you what’s possible.

I let a flat near Attadale station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is typically quicker than replacing.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When to call us in Lochcarron

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

If you let a flat or house near Attadale station (about 1.2 miles south-east), we repair baths and shower trays between tenancies so it’s ready to let again quickly.

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

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

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

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
