Non-slip bath & shower coating in Polruan, Cornwall
Local non-slip bath coating for Polruan: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Polruan without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Polruan and across Cornwall. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Polruan
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you charge for travel?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
What happens next?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
