Non-slip bath coating in Putsborough

Non-slip bath coating in Putsborough without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you have bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

Older homes around Putsborough may have baths that have been in place for decades. A sound older bath is well worth repairing.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on. In a village or hamlet like Putsborough, access can be the only tricky part. Once we’re there, the non-slip bath coating works exactly as anywhere else.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Questions from Putsborough

Do you cover villages like Putsborough?

Yes, villages and hamlets are part of our area, with the same prices as anywhere else.

Is it worth repairing old baths and shower trays in a period home in Putsborough?

Frequently, yes: original pieces are generally worth keeping. Photos let us tell you what we’d recommend.

Are you accredited?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

When to call us in Putsborough

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us after spotting one of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

For older houses around Putsborough, near landmarks such as Church of St Mary Magdalene, it may still have its original cast iron bath, which is well worth repairing or re-enamelling rather than replacing.

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Putsborough. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
