Shaw Lands questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Are you accredited?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Non-slip bath coating in Shaw Lands without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Barnsley. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Shaw Lands

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shaw Lands as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we are called out for in Shaw Lands

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Most jobs done in one visit
