Non-Slip Bath Coating for Gaston Green homes
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Gaston Green and the surrounding area, usually in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Non-slip bath coating in Gaston Green without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Gaston Green
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- Who will actually do the work
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- What aftercare is recommended
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
