What affects the price in Polsloe
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Polsloe
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Polsloe?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

The entire UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Honest limits
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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
