Non-slip bath & shower coating in Ilsington, Devon
Non-slip bath coating in Ilsington without the cost of replacing. Send us photos for a fixed price, then book a visit.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Non-slip bath coating in Ilsington without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Ilsington, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
