Non-Slip Bath Coating for Petrockstowe homes
We travel to Petrockstowe for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Non-slip bath coating in Petrockstowe, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Petrockstowe and across Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Petrockstowe

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How it works
On the day, 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 clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
Advice
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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

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. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Petrockstowe use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
