About our non-slip bath coating in Knowle St Giles
It’s popular with 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 safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Knowle St Giles
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
