About our non-slip bath coating in Machynys
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Machynys questions
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you charge for travel?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Machynys. The price reflects:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Quotes from your pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A picture taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
Honest limits
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Machynys
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.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Whether the colour is mixed to match

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
