Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in East Budleigh without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Budleigh as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a repair can’t fix

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
