Non-slip bath coating in Smeatharpe without replacing anything
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. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Devon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Smeatharpe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Smeatharpe questions
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Smeatharpe. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover Smeatharpe?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Smeatharpe from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Does someone need to be in?

Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repair or replace in Smeatharpe?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We do not charge extra for travel to Smeatharpe. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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