Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

The size and number of damaged areas
Access to the area
Whether we combine several jobs
Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Something in shot to show the size
Details of any past repairs
Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Westleigh

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
The area to be treated is masked out.
We apply the clear textured coating.
We remove the masking for a neat edge.
The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Open a window if you can
Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Our hiring checklist

Westleigh questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Landlord and trade work in Westleigh

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repair or replace in Westleigh?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
