Non-slip bath coating in Tregorrick without replacing anything
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 wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tregorrick
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before booking anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A photo taken from further back
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
DIY kit or professional repair?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
