Non-slip bath coating in Cadgwith, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are 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.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Cadgwith questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you cover Cadgwith?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Cadgwith for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Cadgwith

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • 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 to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Cadgwith

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

See our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
