Non-slip bath coating in Nether Exe without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Nether Exe as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nether Exe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- Details of any past repairs
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Ensure the area is dry

DIY kit or professional repair?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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 usually cheaper.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Nether Exe
Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Everywhere in the UK, Nether Exe included. Travel is included in the price.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can I add another job to the visit?
