Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hele, Devon

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hele
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Hele: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
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.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
What happens next?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hele.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When a repair is not the answer
We’d 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 will say what we think before booking.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
How the visit works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Close by, we cover Chambercombe (1 mile south-west), Ilfracombe (1 mile west), Berrynarbor (2 miles east), Combe Martin (3 miles east) and Trimstone (3 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Barnstaple (9 miles south), Bideford (14 miles south), Braunton (7 miles south), Newport (10 miles south), Roundswell (10 miles south) and East-the-Water (14 miles south).
Around Hele
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Hele Billy's Bar, Parish Church of Saint Philip and St James and Ilfracombe Church of England Junior School, among other places. A little further out are Combe Martin Museum (2.7 miles east) and Watermouth Castle (0.9 miles north-east). The countryside around Hele includes Chapel wood.
For landlords and businesses
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Hele
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hele. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
What you get with us
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- Typically one visit, start to finish
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Can I fix it myself?
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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
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.
When to call us in Hele
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
