Non-slip bath coating in Garnlydan without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
If you are in Garnlydan and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in Garnlydan
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
