Non-slip bath coating for George Nympton homes

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Non-slip bath coating in George Nympton, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every job is backed for twelve months in George Nympton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for George Nympton

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there any odour?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A photo taken from further back

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your EX36 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
