Non-Slip Bath Coating in Buckerell

- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating in Buckerell without replacing anything
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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What affects the price in Buckerell
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The type of damage
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Questions from Buckerell
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you work in Buckerell?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Buckerell and the rest of Devon. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
