Non-slip bath coating in Gibbonsdown, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Gibbonsdown and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Gibbonsdown
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Do you cover the entire of the Vale of Glamorgan?
The entire UK, including all of the Vale of Glamorgan. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Can you quote from pictures?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Gibbonsdown?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CF63 postcode.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
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 do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often 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.
Common problems we fix in Gibbonsdown
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
Repairing versus replacing in Gibbonsdown
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
