Non-Slip Bath Coating for Heybrook Bay homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Heybrook Bay and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What affects the price in Heybrook Bay
Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Non-slip bath coating in Heybrook Bay without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
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.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Common questions in Heybrook Bay
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Plymouth. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Heybrook Bay.
