Non-slip bath coating at your home in Southdown
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Cornwall. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Southdown?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
