About our non-slip bath coating in Crabtree
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Plymouth. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Crabtree. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Common questions in Crabtree
Are there extra charges for Crabtree?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What areas do you cover?
All of Plymouth, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
Can you repair several things at once?
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?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PL3 postcode.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
