Non-slip bath coating near Devoran

Non-slip bath coating in Devoran, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Devoran as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Devoran. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
