Non-slip bath coating in North Hill

Non-slip bath coating at your home in North Hill

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in North Hill and across Cornwall. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in North Hill use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in North Hill?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place

Common questions in North Hill

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

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.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cornwall, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you come to North Hill?

We do. Technicians travel to North Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

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.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in North Hill

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for North Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
