Non-slip bath coating in Charlbury without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Charlbury
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Landlord and trade work in Charlbury
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Repairing versus replacing in Charlbury
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Charlbury. The price reflects:
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

- Worn-out textured areas

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

When a repair isn’t the answer
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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
