Non-Slip Bath Coating in Shirwell Cross
We travel to Shirwell Cross for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
About our non-slip bath coating in Shirwell Cross
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Shirwell Cross: your questions answered
Do you cover Shirwell Cross?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Shirwell Cross and the rest of Devon. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shirwell Cross, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

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. 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.
