Non-Slip Bath Coating in Stoke Gabriel
We travel to Stoke Gabriel for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Stoke Gabriel, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Non-slip bath coating in Stoke Gabriel 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. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Stoke Gabriel
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before booking anyone
- How long it needs to cure
- Who will actually do the work
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

FAQs for Stoke Gabriel
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of Devon?
We cover the entire UK, including Stoke Gabriel and the rest of Devon. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
Quotes from your photos
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
When a repair isn’t the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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’ll say what we think.
