Non-Slip Bath Coating for Monkerton homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Monkerton, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
Advice
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Monkerton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Monkerton: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What areas do you cover?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What a repair can’t fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 booking.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you’re in Monkerton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
