About our non-slip bath coating in Highertown

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Highertown and across Cornwall. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What a repair can’t fix

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Highertown

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
