Non-slip bath coating in Porthcurno, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Porthcurno?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How soon you can use it again

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TR19 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Porthcurno as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Porthcurno questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Porthcurno and the rest of Cornwall. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
