Non-slip bath coating in Scredda

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Non-slip bath coating in Scredda, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Scredda?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair can’t fix

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Scredda. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common questions in Scredda

Do you come to Scredda?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Scredda and the rest of Cornwall. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

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

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What affects the price in Scredda

There’s no charge for travel to Scredda. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

If you are in Scredda and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
