When a repair is not the answer

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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

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

Materials we work on in South Holmwood

About our non-slip bath coating in South Holmwood

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in South Holmwood

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

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.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

Common questions in South Holmwood

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Surrey.

Will I see the coating?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are you accredited?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Repairing versus replacing in South Holmwood

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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

What we are called out for in South Holmwood

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in South Holmwood

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your RH5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
