Questions from Withleigh
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
Across the UK, so Withleigh is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Do you come to Withleigh?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Withleigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What we are called out for in Withleigh
Smooth surfaces are 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.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How to care for the finish
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no charge for travel to Withleigh. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
The price 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
