Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays for homes and businesses in Henleaze and across Bristol. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Henleaze
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help.
Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Henleaze
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
FAQs for Henleaze
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Bristol.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens next?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
What happens on the day
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
How to get a price
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
