How we handle non-slip bath coating in Looe
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Looe
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Common problems we fix in Looe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Common questions in Looe
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What do you need from me?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
