Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Torre
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Covering Torre
Torre is about 1 mile south-west of Torquay, in Torbay. Across the TQ2 area, we come to you. Our technicians cover 23 places across Torbay, from the larger towns to small villages.
Postcode districts we cover here: TQ2 and TQ1. We regularly work on streets such as Leys Road, Mill Lane and Bath Lane. Being close to the A3022, Torre is easy for our repair technicians to reach. If you’re just outside Torre, we cover Chelston (1 mile south-west), Cockington (1 mile south-west), Torquay (1 mile north-east), Ellacombe (1 mile east) and Babbacombe (1 mile east). Larger places within reach include Brixham (5 miles south), Marldon (3 miles west), Goodrington (3 miles south) and Galmpton (5 miles south).
Local landmarks in Torre
Locally, our jobs take us to homes close to Torquay Academy, Cockington Primary School and Abbey Park and Meadows. Also close by are Torquay Academy (0.7 miles north), Parish Church of All Saints (less than half a mile south-east) and DT's pub (within half a mile east). There is a railway station in Torre itself: Torre station. Well-known places in the area include Victorian Shopping Arcade (1 mile south-east) and Torbay Hospital (1 mile north-west). The countryside around Torre includes Occombe Valley Woods.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Torre as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
