Non-slip bath coating in Sampford Courtenay without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sampford Courtenay
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact 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
What your quote should include
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How much damage there is
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.
