How we handle non-slip bath coating in Fron
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Fron
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions from Fron
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When we would advise against a repair
We would rather lose a job than do one 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
If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
For landlords and businesses
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
