Common questions in North Blyth

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you work in North Blyth?

We do. We send a technician to North Blyth for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Non-slip bath coating in North Blyth, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

What affects the price in North Blyth

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Blyth use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in North Blyth

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

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

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
