Non-slip bath coating in Ilfracombe, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The colour and finish to match
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ilfracombe
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will the price change on the day?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
Repair or replace in Ilfracombe?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Ilfracombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
