Non-slip bath & shower coating in Shobrooke, Devon
We travel to Shobrooke for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Non-slip bath coating in Shobrooke, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Shobrooke
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- What the surface is made of
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Natural light rather than flash
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Landlord and trade work in Shobrooke
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
Can I fix it myself?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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 often lifts.
Shobrooke: your questions answered
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
All of Devon, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Shobrooke
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- Who turns up on the day
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Why us?
- No need to remove anything
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Most jobs done in one visit

The process
We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
