Questions from Thornham Fold

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Thornham Fold?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your M24 postcode.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Non-slip bath coating in Thornham Fold, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Rochdale. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thornham Fold

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What a repair cannot fix

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Thornham Fold. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
