Thurnham questions

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

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

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Non-slip bath coating in Thurnham, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Thurnham and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What we’re called out for in Thurnham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us when they notice something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
