Non-slip bath coating in Bishopswood, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Bishopswood
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bishopswood. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bishopswood
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Common reasons people in Bishopswood contact us are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Landlord and trade work in Bishopswood
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bishopswood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
