Non-slip bath coating in Fowey, done in place
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. If you are dealing with 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 material.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many areas need work
- How many items we do on one visit
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Quotes from your photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
For a price in Fowey, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Repair or replace in Fowey?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

- Who turns up on the day
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
