- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Trewoon
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Where you are, by postcode
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Trewoon
Can you quote from pictures?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Do you cover Trewoon?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Trewoon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
