Non-slip bath coating in Bere Alston without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Repair or replace in Bere Alston?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Bere Alston. The price depends on:
- What kind of damage it is
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

- One sharp close-up of the damage

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
