Questions from Newnham

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How do I clean it?

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

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Newnham. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Newnham

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Newnham

For anyone letting property in or around Newnham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

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.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SG7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Newnham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to look after the finish

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Newnham?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
