Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hele
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, some problems need a different 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
The process
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What else we do in Hele
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you cover Hele?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Hele from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
