Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Colyton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Colyton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Colyton

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Colyton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Advice

Repair or replace in Colyton?

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