Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Yelverton

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Yelverton

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Yelverton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Yelverton

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Yelverton questions

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Landlord and trade work in Yelverton

If you manage property in Yelverton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
