Non-slip bath coating in Parkengear, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Parkengear and across Cornwall. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Questions from Parkengear
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What affects the price in Parkengear
You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Parkengear. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
When to call us in Parkengear
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How changes to the job are handled
- How soon you can use it again
- How your room will be protected
