Non-Slip Bath Coating for Crumplehorn homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Crumplehorn and the surrounding area, generally in one visit.

- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating in Crumplehorn, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Work for landlords and builders
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Crumplehorn. The price comes down to:
- The type of damage
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Crumplehorn get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
When to call us in Crumplehorn
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for any of the following:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions from Crumplehorn
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Crumplehorn is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
