- Safety for older or less mobile people
Landlords, agents and businesses in Oakford
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Non-slip bath coating in Oakford, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a 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, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Questions from Oakford
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What affects the price in Oakford
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Oakford and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Oakford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
