Non-slip bath & shower coating in Mount Ambrose, Cornwall

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Mount Ambrose
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Can I fix it myself?
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Mount Ambrose. The price reflects:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
Most clients in Mount Ambrose get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Mount Ambrose?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is matched

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Repair or replace in Mount Ambrose?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.
