Non-slip bath & shower coating in Sticklepath, Devon

About our non-slip bath coating in Sticklepath
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
What affects the price in Sticklepath
There’s no charge for travel to Sticklepath. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
- How easy the damage is to reach
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What else we do in Sticklepath
DIY kit or professional repair?
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. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
What a repair cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Repair or replace in Sticklepath?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Advice
FAQs for Sticklepath

Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens if you find more damage?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
