Non-slip bath coating in Tinhay without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What else we do in Tinhay
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
Tinhay: your questions answered
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Devon. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on

Common problems we fix in Tinhay
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
