Non-slip bath coating in East Aberthaw without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in East Aberthaw
Common questions in East Aberthaw
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in East Aberthaw?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
The process
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get 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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What affects the price in East Aberthaw
There is no area surcharge for East Aberthaw. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in East Aberthaw as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
