What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- What the surface is made of
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.
About our non-slip bath coating in Thelbridge
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Thelbridge?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Thelbridge
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include

- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Questions from Thelbridge
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your EX17 postcode.
Do you cover Thelbridge?
We do. We send a technician to Thelbridge for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover the entire of Devon?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Are there extra charges for Thelbridge?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
The process
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
