Non-slip bath coating in Hendra without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hendra
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover Hendra?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hendra and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The material
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A picture taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
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.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
The process
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
Advice
Common problems we fix in Hendra
Smooth surfaces are 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.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before booking anyone
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Who will actually do the work
- How long it needs to cure
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
