Shillford questions

Are there extra charges for Shillford?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in Shillford?

We do. We send a technician to Shillford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shillford

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Shillford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we are called out for in Shillford

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Shillford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
