Common questions in Gilbert's Coombe
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Gilbert's Coombe?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Non-slip bath coating in Gilbert's Coombe, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Gilbert's Coombe. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Repair or replace in Gilbert's Coombe?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
