Common questions in Newbiggin
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Do you work in Newbiggin?
We do. We send a technician to Newbiggin for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Are there extra charges for Newbiggin?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Landlord and trade work in Newbiggin
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
For anyone letting property in or around Newbiggin, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no charge for travel to Newbiggin. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Newbiggin. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DH7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
How to get a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
