Non-slip bath & shower coating in Crossgates, Powys
We travel to Crossgates for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Non-slip bath coating in Crossgates, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in Crossgates get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Common problems we fix in Crossgates
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before booking anyone
- How the colour is matched
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- Who turns up on the day
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Crossgates
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
For anyone letting property in or around Crossgates, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
