Non-slip bath coating at your home in Polgooth

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Polgooth and across Cornwall. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why Polgooth customers choose us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Polgooth and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Questions from Polgooth

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you work in Polgooth?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Polgooth and the rest of Cornwall. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Polgooth?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Polgooth

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
