Non-slip bath coating at your home in Porcupine
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. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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 does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
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.

Porcupine questions
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Porcupine and the rest of Cornwall. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

What else we do in Porcupine
What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
For a price in Porcupine, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Porcupine
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A 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 booking.
