Non-slip bath coating in Exeter

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays

Non-slip bath coating in Exeter 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. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Exeter questions

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Our hiring checklist

Landlords, agents and businesses in Exeter

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

What affects the price in Exeter

We charge the same across the UK, including Exeter. The price reflects:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
