Non-Slip Bath Coating for Fforest Gôch homes
We travel to Fforest Gôch for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SA8 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our non-slip bath coating in Fforest Gôch
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fforest Gôch and across Neath Port Talbot. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

For landlords and businesses
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Neath Port Talbot and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
