Questions from Silverknowes

Can I add another job to the visit?

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating in Silverknowes, done in place

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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Silverknowes, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Silverknowes?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

What we’re called out for in Silverknowes

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Silverknowes use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Silverknowes. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
