Non-slip bath coating for Buckfastleigh homes

Non-slip bath coating in Buckfastleigh, done in place

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 work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

When to call us in Buckfastleigh

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For a price in Buckfastleigh, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Buckfastleigh. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Buckfastleigh

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

FAQs for Buckfastleigh

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Buckfastleigh?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
