About our non-slip bath coating in Ivybridge

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Ivybridge

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays

What we’re called out for in Ivybridge

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Ivybridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

See our prices page.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ivybridge

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ivybridge?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
