Trusted non-slip bath coating in Bishop's Tawton

Non-slip bath coating in Bishop's Tawton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

Landlord and trade work in Bishop's Tawton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
