Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thirlby

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Thirlby

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I clean it?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will you leave a mess?

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

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, 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.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Thirlby

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Thirlby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
