Non-slip bath & shower coating in Longstone, Cornwall
We travel to Longstone for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Non-slip bath coating in Longstone, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Most clients in Longstone get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Longstone
Can you quote from photos?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Longstone
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Landlord and trade work in Longstone
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
