What affects the price in Whimple
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Most clients in Whimple get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
About our non-slip bath coating in Whimple
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
In a village or hamlet like Whimple, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Many have heavy cast iron baths or baths in awkward spots, and removing a bath from an older house is rarely simple. Repairing in place avoids that.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
Whimple homes and their baths
Rented homes near Whimple station (in Whimple itself) change hands frequently, and repairing baths and shower trays between tenants is quicker than replacing them.
Whimple is about 7 miles north-west of Sidmouth, in Devon. Anywhere in EX5, we carry out the work at your property. Whimple is one of 586 towns and villages in Devon we cover.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Whimple
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whimple
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
If you live in one of the older homes near a church such as Church of St Mary, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and non-slip bath coating gives it years more use.

Repairing versus replacing in Whimple
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Older homes around Whimple may have sizes and fittings that new pieces do not match. Repairing avoids those problems.
