Non-Slip Bath Coating for Carbis Bay homes
Non-slip bath coating across Carbis Bay and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
About our non-slip bath coating in Carbis Bay
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Carbis Bay
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
How the visit works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Open a window if you can
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
What affects the price in Carbis Bay
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- What it’s made of, if you know
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
