Trusted non-slip bath coating in Ashton

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Non-slip bath coating in Ashton without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ashton and across Cornwall. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Ashton

There is no charge for travel to Ashton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ashton?

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Landlord and trade work in Ashton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashton use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
