About our non-slip bath coating in Sampford Chapple
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How much damage there is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sampford Chapple. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- What it’s made of, if you know
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Sampford Chapple: your questions answered
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you come to Sampford Chapple?
We do. Technicians travel to Sampford Chapple from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Sampford Chapple, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sampford Chapple as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
