How we handle non-slip bath coating in Monkleigh
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we cannot put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Monkleigh. The price comes down to:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Quotes from your pictures
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

FAQs for Monkleigh
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.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Will the price change on the day?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Repairing versus replacing in Monkleigh
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Monkleigh
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
