How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Clear the area around the damage
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Getting a price
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
About our non-slip bath coating in St Martin
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Martin as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Cornwall and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in St Martin
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- Who turns up on the day
- How changes to the job are handled
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
