Non-Slip Bath Coating in Aylesbeare

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Aylesbeare
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: 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.

Common questions in Aylesbeare
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Devon.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Repairing versus replacing in Aylesbeare
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
What affects the price in Aylesbeare
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Aylesbeare, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Aylesbeare
