When to call us in Tiverton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Tiverton: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from photos?

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

Is it messy?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Tiverton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.
