DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lower Street

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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Common questions in Lower Street

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Street use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

What affects the price in Lower Street

There is no charge for travel to Lower Street. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lower Street. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Lower Street get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
