Non-slip bath coating in Gweek, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gweek as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gweek use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Gweek?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

FAQs for Gweek

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you come to Gweek?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Gweek for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Gweek. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR12 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
