Non-slip bath coating at your home in Folly Gate

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Folly Gate as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
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 quote.
Common questions in Folly Gate
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Are there extra charges for Folly Gate?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

Honest limits
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- 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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work

Landlord and trade work in Folly Gate
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Folly Gate use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
