Non-slip bath coating in Colston without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Colston
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Clients normally contact us about:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before you book anyone
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Landlord and trade work in Colston
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Colston as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What affects the price in Colston
There’s no charge for travel to Colston. The price depends on:
- How many areas need work
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How hard the colour is to match
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit

What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about parking or access
