Non-slip bath coating in Heavitree, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Heavitree
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Why Heavitree clients choose us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish

When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
- Access to the area
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Heavitree, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
FAQs for Heavitree
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work in Heavitree?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Heavitree from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
