Non-Slip Bath Coating in Llanwern
Non-slip bath coating across Llanwern and nearby, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Llanwern
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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.
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 usually cheaper.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We don’t charge extra for travel to Llanwern. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What the surface is made of
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Llanwern: your questions answered
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Llanwern?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What a repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Ask for a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
