Landlord and trade work in Veensgarth

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Veensgarth use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Veensgarth

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

If you’re in Veensgarth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Veensgarth

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work

How to compare quotes

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your ZE2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Veensgarth and the surrounding area

Veensgarth is in the Shetland Islands. Customers in Veensgarth get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed quote from your photos, then a visit to do the work. Veensgarth is one of 63 places in the Shetland Islands we cover.

Our visits in ZE2 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Vallafield, Herrislea Court and Herrisdale Park or a nearby road, we can come to you. We also travel to Gott (1 mile north-east), Gremista (2 miles east), Heogan (3 miles east), Lerwick (3 miles south-east) and Sound (3 miles south-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Around Veensgarth

We visit homes around Tingwall Kirk, among other places. Other landmarks nearby include Castle Holm (2.8 miles north-west) and Gilbert Bain Hospital (3.3 miles south-east). The countryside around Veensgarth includes Setter Hill and Loch of Bessigarth.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Veensgarth

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is it messy?

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

Repair or replace in Veensgarth?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
