Repair or replace in West Side?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in West Side

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 work on in West Side

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

What we are called out for in West Side

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for West Side

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you come to West Side?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to West Side and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.

Do the materials smell?

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

Landlord and trade work in West Side

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Side use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
