What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Non-slip bath coating in Lympstone without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Lympstone

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What we cannot put right

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.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Lympstone. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Lympstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Lympstone

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover Lympstone?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Lympstone and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Repairing versus replacing in Lympstone

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
