All of GL7 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. We regularly work on streets such as Hazells Lane, The Gassons and Rouses Lane and the roads around them.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Filkins
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
When to call us in Filkins
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- What happens if they find more damage
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- Whether they match the colour on site
When we would advise against a repair
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Filkins: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you cover the whole of Gloucestershire?
We cover the whole UK, including Filkins and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The material and finish
- The colour and finish to match
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Most customers in Filkins get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
