About our non-slip bath coating in Mawnan Smith

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 are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Mawnan Smith

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

FAQs for Mawnan Smith

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are there extra charges for Mawnan Smith?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Mawnan Smith?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Mawnan Smith for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Mawnan Smith

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
