Non-slip bath & shower coating in Penryn, Cornwall
Non-slip bath coating across Penryn and nearby, generally in one visit.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
About our non-slip bath coating in Penryn
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penryn
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
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.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Penryn?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Penryn: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
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.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, and that includes Penryn. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Penryn. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
