About our non-slip bath coating in St Ruan
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

FAQs for St Ruan
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in St Ruan?

What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
When a repair isn’t the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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

What we do, step by step
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
Landlords, agents and businesses in St Ruan
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
