Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lynton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Homes around Lynton range from cottages to newer houses. Older ones may still have cast iron or steel baths, which are well worth keeping.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we are called out for in Lynton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Lynton contact us are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

In the older streets of Lynton, around landmarks like Church of St Mary the Virgin, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. In a smaller place like Lynton, getting trades out for a full replacement can take time to arrange. A repair needs just one visit.

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up. In a smaller place like Lynton, parking is rarely a problem. If you’re down a lane or a long drive, tell us when you book and we’ll plan for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

What affects the price in Lynton

There’s no charge for travel to Lynton. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you’re in Lynton and want a price, 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.

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Lynton

My house in Lynton is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?

Generally: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send pictures and we will advise.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

We cover the whole UK, including Lynton and the rest of Devon. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
