Non-slip bath coating in Withnoe, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Withnoe: your questions answered
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Withnoe?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Withnoe. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Withnoe?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PL15 postcode.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Cornwall.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Withnoe
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
