DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 Eggesford without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Eggesford
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Eggesford
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Eggesford?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
How to get a price
