About our non-slip bath coating in Crapstone
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Crapstone
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in Crapstone
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Devon.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we do, step by step
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 work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
