What affects the price in Skelmanthorpe

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Skelmanthorpe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Non-slip bath coating in Skelmanthorpe, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Skelmanthorpe and across Kirklees. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Skelmanthorpe: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Skelmanthorpe

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Skelmanthorpe customers choose us

  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Skelmanthorpe as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
