FAQs for Yetminster

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Yetminster

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Yetminster

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Yetminster

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry

Get a quote

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What affects the price in Yetminster

There’s no charge for travel to Yetminster. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
