Newton St Cyres questions

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

About our non-slip bath coating in Newton St Cyres

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Newton St Cyres

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Newton St Cyres

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Newton St Cyres. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
