What affects the price in St Keyne

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Non-slip bath coating in St Keyne, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, 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. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in St Keyne

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Are there extra charges for St Keyne?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you work in St Keyne?

We do. We send a technician to St Keyne for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

What we’re called out for in St Keyne

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but 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
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why St Keyne customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

If you manage property in St Keyne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
