Non-slip bath coating in Helford without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Helford

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do you work in Helford?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Helford and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Advice

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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our prices page.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
