Non-Slip Bath Coating in Stithians
We travel to Stithians for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stithians
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stithians as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What affects the price in Stithians
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we do, step by step
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Stithians
What happens after I send pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
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.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Do you cover Stithians?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stithians and the rest of Cornwall. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
