Non-slip bath & shower coating in Higher Downs, Cornwall
Our repair technicians come to Higher Downs for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Non-slip bath coating in Higher Downs, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Higher Downs
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What happens if they find more damage
- How to care for the finish
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
What a repair cannot fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
The process
Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
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.
