Non-slip bath coating in Kentisbury without replacing anything
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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Kentisbury as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Kentisbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
FAQs for Kentisbury
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Kentisbury?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kentisbury and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kentisbury.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
What happens on the day
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
