About our non-slip bath coating in Gwennap
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 resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- 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.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
What we are called out for in Gwennap
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What affects the price in Gwennap
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The material, if you know it
Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TR16 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

How the visit works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Related advice
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Gwennap
DIY kit or professional repair?
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. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
