- Worn-out textured areas

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
About our non-slip bath coating in Mullion Cove
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What else we do in Mullion Cove
What we do, step by step
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- What it’s made of, if you know
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Common problems we fix in Mullion Cove
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Mullion Cove: your questions answered
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
When can you do it?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Mullion Cove
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
