How to compare quotes

Non-slip bath coating in Wheathampstead without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Wheathampstead questions

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

What information do you need?

Repair or replace in Wheathampstead?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wheathampstead as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.
