Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cheston

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cheston

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price 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 pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Cheston

We don’t charge extra for travel to Cheston. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Cheston?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Cheston

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
