Non-slip bath coating at your home in Allaleigh
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Allaleigh
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Allaleigh and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
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.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Allaleigh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Allaleigh?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
