Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hemyock, Devon
Non-slip bath coating across Hemyock and nearby, normally in one visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
About our non-slip bath coating in Hemyock
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hemyock and across Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hemyock
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Which areas do you work in?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Do you come to Hemyock?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Hemyock and the rest of Devon. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
How to get a fixed quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area

How it works
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Let us know which floor the room is on

Repairing versus replacing in Hemyock
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
