You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Pilton
Do you come to Pilton?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Pilton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Repairing versus replacing in Pilton
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a repair can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pilton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
Most clients in Pilton get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
