About our non-slip bath coating in Kenwyn
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Kenwyn

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What else we do in Kenwyn
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
FAQs for Kenwyn
Do you cover the whole of Cornwall?
Across the UK, so Kenwyn is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Open a window if you can
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
Should I try a DIY kit first?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
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.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
