Questions from Stape

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Non-slip bath coating in Stape, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Stape

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

Landlord and trade work in Stape

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stape as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we are called out for in Stape

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Stape

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
