Book non-slip bath coating in Callington

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Callington

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Callington questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Callington.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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