Non-Slip Bath Coating for Trethowel homes
We travel to Trethowel for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
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 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.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Trethowel
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Trethowel
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
Compared with replacing, 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.
Getting a price from photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Landlord and trade work in Trethowel
For anyone letting property in or around Trethowel, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Trethowel use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
