About our non-slip bath coating in Penzance

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Penzance

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Penzance clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Penzance. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Penzance, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Penzance

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Questions from Penzance

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
