Common questions in Tulloes

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you come to Tulloes?

We do. We send a technician to Tulloes for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tulloes

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Common problems we fix in Tulloes

Smooth surfaces are 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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Aftercare advice
  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Tulloes

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
