Non-slip bath coating for Hendra homes

Non-slip bath coating in Hendra 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 worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Hendra: your questions answered

Do you cover the entire of Cornwall?

We cover the entire UK, including Hendra and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hendra?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Repair or replace in Hendra?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We leave the room as we found it

What affects the price in Hendra

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
