Non-slip bath & shower coating in Modbury, Devon
Our repair technicians come to Modbury for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Modbury
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Modbury
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Modbury
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The material
- What kind of damage it is

- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Modbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Modbury, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Modbury questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Are there extra charges for Modbury?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
Materials we repair

Common problems we fix in Modbury
Smooth surfaces are 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
