Trusted non-slip bath coating in Camelford

Non-slip bath coating in Camelford without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Camelford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Camelford?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Camelford

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we can’t put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PL32 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

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

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
