Non-Slip Bath Coating for Chawleigh homes
We travel to Chawleigh for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Non-slip bath coating in Chawleigh, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Chawleigh as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

FAQs for Chawleigh
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover Chawleigh?
We do. Technicians travel to Chawleigh from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
When a repair is not the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chawleigh
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- What kind of damage it is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you’re in Chawleigh and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
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 pictures, as it can add time.
What we are called out for in Chawleigh
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People typically call us when they notice one of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Repairing versus replacing in Chawleigh
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
