Need non-slip bath coating in Redruth?

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Redruth

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Redruth

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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.

Redruth: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Redruth?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your TR15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
