Book non-slip bath coating in Wearde

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Wearde

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Wearde and across Cornwall. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Wearde?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place

See our prices page.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Wearde, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Wearde

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Are there extra charges for Wearde?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What affects the price in Wearde

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
