DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Non-slip bath coating in Mid Devon, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Mid Devon

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Mid Devon: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

Any earlier repairs that need removing first
What the surface is made of
Whether we combine several jobs
The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

Any earlier repairs or coatings
Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
The material, if you know it

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
