FAQs for Southill

Are you accredited?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Southill

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 worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southill

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

What affects the price in Southill

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Southill?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
