Non-slip bath coating in Garth, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Newport. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Garth
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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, a professional repair is worth it.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Garth?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Landlords, agents and businesses in Garth
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Newport and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach

- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
