About our non-slip bath coating in Ponsanooth

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When to call us in Ponsanooth

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from Ponsanooth

Do you cover Ponsanooth?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ponsanooth from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
