Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cambridgeshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Swaffham Bulbeck

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Do you work in Swaffham Bulbeck?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Swaffham Bulbeck for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

When to call us in Swaffham Bulbeck

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Swaffham Bulbeck. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Swaffham Bulbeck clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Take a look at our full price list.

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most clients in Swaffham Bulbeck get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
