Common questions in Tunstall

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Tunstall and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tunstall

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Tunstall and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Tunstall

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tunstall use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tunstall

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

Look out for any of the following:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.

Repair or replace in Tunstall?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
