Non-slip bath & shower coating in Southway, Plymouth
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Southway, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Southway
The coating is clear and textured, 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. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Southway
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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
