Non-slip bath coating in Westward Ho! without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Westward Ho! and across Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair

When to call us in Westward Ho!

Look out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the price covers travel
- Aftercare advice
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Westward Ho!. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
Questions from Westward Ho!
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you come to Westward Ho!?
We do. We send a technician to Westward Ho! for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
