Questions from Metcombe
Will you travel to Metcombe?
Yes. We cover villages and hamlets as well as towns. Let us know about access and parking.
Is it worth repairing old baths and shower trays in a period home in Metcombe?
In most cases: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Metcombe?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Metcombe
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
Rural addresses like Metcombe just need a little planning. Let us know about access and where to park, and we will take care of the rest.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The material and finish
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring all our kit in the van, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work. For a rural address like Metcombe, we plan the journey in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives or where to park. Everything for the non-slip bath coating comes with us in one trip.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in Metcombe?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. For a rural home like those around Metcombe, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while non-slip bath coating is one trip.

Honest limits
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
When to call us in Metcombe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.
Customers typically contact us about:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Landlords with property near Whimple station (about 4.2 miles north-west) use us between tenancies, so baths and shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.
What your quote should include

- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
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, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.
