Trusted non-slip bath coating in Venn Ottery

About our non-slip bath coating in Venn Ottery

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Venn Ottery questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you cover Venn Ottery?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Venn Ottery and the rest of Devon. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When to call us in Venn Ottery

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Venn Ottery. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
