Non-slip bath & shower coating in Compton, Torbay
We travel to Compton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Non-slip bath coating in Compton without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Compton: your questions answered
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Compton?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Compton included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What affects the price in Compton
We charge the same across the UK, including Compton. The price reflects:
- The material and finish
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A picture taken from further back
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, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
