Trusted non-slip bath coating in Olchard

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

About our non-slip bath coating in Olchard

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

Rural addresses like Olchard just need a little planning. Tell us about narrow lanes, long drives or parking, and we will take care of the rest.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. For a rural home like those around Olchard, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while non-slip bath coating is one trip.

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Everything repaired in place

When to call us in Olchard

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Landlords with property near Newton Abbot station (about 3.5 miles south) use us between tenancies, so baths and shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.

Choosing a repair company

Olchard: your questions answered

Do you come out to small places like Olchard?

Yes, we do: Olchard is covered like any town. Tell us if access is tricky.

Can you fix baths and shower trays in a rental near Newton Abbot station?

Yes, landlords and agents book us regularly, and a repair between tenants is usually quicker than replacing.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you come to Olchard?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Olchard and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result. For a rural address like Olchard, we plan the journey in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the non-slip bath coating comes with us in one trip.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space clear if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get 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 over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
