Repairing versus replacing in Colebrook
The alternatives are 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Colebrook
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Colebrook and across Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Colebrook
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
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.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a call-out fee?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Colebrook, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
