About our non-slip bath coating in Lewdown

It’s popular with 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. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lewdown and across Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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.

For anyone letting property in or around Lewdown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we work on in Lewdown

  • Acrylic baths

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Lewdown: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will I see the coating?

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

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

When to call us in Lewdown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before booking anyone

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your EX20 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Lewdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
