Trusted non-slip bath coating in Avening

Non-slip bath coating in Avening, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from pictures 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 will get a fixed figure back.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Avening: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

We work UK-wide, so Avening is covered. Prices do not change with location.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Avening?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL8 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We leave the room as we found it
