Non-Slip Bath Coating for Portmellon homes
We travel to Portmellon for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

About our non-slip bath coating in Portmellon
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we are called out for in Portmellon
Smooth surfaces are 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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
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 pictures.

Portmellon questions
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
