When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating in Tewin Wood, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, 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 safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

The process

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 morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AL6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Tewin Wood

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Tewin Wood

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Tewin Wood?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When to call us in Tewin Wood

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Aftercare advice

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Tewin Wood. The price comes down to:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
