How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Non-slip bath coating in Old Ellerby without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Old Ellerby questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I clean it?

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

How do I book?

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

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from photos?

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

What affects the price in Old Ellerby

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Old Ellerby?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Old Ellerby as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
