Trusted non-slip bath coating in Staxigoe

Non-slip bath coating in Staxigoe, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Staxigoe and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Staxigoe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Staxigoe

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
