Landlords, agents and businesses in Workington

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Non-slip bath coating in Workington without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Workington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Workington: your questions answered

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CA14 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Workington

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Workington. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
