Common questions in Pentrepiod

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Pentrepiod?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Pentrepiod and the rest of Torfaen. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Pentrepiod

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Pentrepiod?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pentrepiod

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Torfaen and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Pentrepiod

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Pentrepiod

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

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