Non-slip bath & shower coating in Ashburton, Devon
Our repair technicians come to Ashburton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ashburton
It’s popular with 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TQ13 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Why us?
- Usually one visit, start to finish
- A fixed quote before booking
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
Read our pricing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ashburton
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Are there extra charges for Ashburton?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Landlord and trade work in Ashburton
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashburton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
