Non-slip bath coating in Duloe

Non-slip bath coating in Duloe 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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Duloe and across Cornwall. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Duloe

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

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Duloe

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Duloe, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Duloe

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.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Duloe

Duloe questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Are you accredited?

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

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Duloe and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

  2. Next we mask off the area.
