Non-slip bath coating in Carpalla without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right.

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

Landlord and trade work in Carpalla

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Carpalla

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Carpalla?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your PL26 postcode.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip 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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

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