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

10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Newton Abbot without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Newton Abbot

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Newton Abbot?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newton Abbot

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newton Abbot as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

A few things move the price: 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.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Newton Abbot and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. 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 clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
