Questions from Thelwall

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Do you work in Thelwall?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Thelwall from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Thelwall. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Thelwall

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Thelwall use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

For anyone letting property in or around Thelwall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common problems we fix in Thelwall

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
