Non-slip bath coating in Knightsmill

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Knightsmill

It’s popular with 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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knightsmill

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

FAQs for Knightsmill

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Knightsmill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Knightsmill and the rest of Cornwall. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repairing versus replacing in Knightsmill

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. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Knightsmill?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
