About our non-slip bath coating in Lowertown-by-Helston
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lowertown-by-Helston and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Lowertown-by-Helston: your questions answered
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
