Landlord and trade work in Sharow

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sharow

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in North Yorkshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Sharow

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What affects the price in Sharow

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos 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

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Sharow, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 booking.
