Non-Slip Bath Coating for South Tehidy homes
Our repair technicians come to South Tehidy for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in South Tehidy
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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Questions from South Tehidy
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Doing more than one item at once
- How many areas need work
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
