Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Non-slip bath coating in Bideford without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, 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’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Bideford
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Bideford?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do you work in Bideford?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Bideford from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
