Repairing versus replacing in Bishopsteignton

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Non-slip bath coating in Bishopsteignton 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. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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 fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Bishopsteignton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
