Non-slip bath & shower coating in Combe, Devon

About our non-slip bath coating in Combe
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
There’s no charge for travel to Combe. The price comes down to:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- What it’s made of, if you know
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Combe?
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Aftercare advice
How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Questions from Combe
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Combe?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Landlord and trade work in Combe
