Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

About our non-slip bath coating in East Devon

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Devon as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace in East Devon?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

FAQs for East Devon

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Are there extra charges for East Devon?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What affects the price in East Devon

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in East Devon, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in East Devon?

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
