What affects the price in Roa Island

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Non-slip bath coating in Roa Island, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cumbria and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Roa Island as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Roa Island

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

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

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask 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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

Questions from Roa Island

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do you come to Roa Island?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Roa Island from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your LA13 postcode.

Do you cover the entire of Cumbria?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

Most customers in Roa Island get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
