How we handle non-slip bath coating in New Grimsby
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Grimsby as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- What kind of damage it is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How easy the damage is to reach
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- The material, if you know it
- Something in shot to show the size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in New Grimsby, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Common questions in New Grimsby
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Are you accredited?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in New Grimsby?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Are there extra charges for New Grimsby?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Other services in New Grimsby
For landlords and businesses
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Covering New Grimsby
New Grimsby is about 37 miles west of Penzance, in the Isles of Scilly. We visit customers in New Grimsby and the surrounding area, so there’s no workshop to go to. New Grimsby is one of 13 towns and villages in the Isles of Scilly where we work.
Here we cover the TR24 postcode area. Whether you live on Palace Lane, New Grimsby Quay and Back Lane or anywhere nearby, we can come to you. Neighbouring places we cover include Dolphin Town (1 mile north-east), Old Grimsby (1 mile north-east), Higher Town (2 miles east), Telegraph (2 miles south-east) and Trenoweth (3 miles south-east).

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
When to call us in New Grimsby
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us when they notice something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
