Non-slip bath coating near Mawgan Porth

About our non-slip bath coating in Mawgan Porth

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. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What affects the price in Mawgan Porth

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR8 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Common questions in Mawgan Porth

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Related advice

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
