Non-slip bath coating at your home in Merlin's Bridge
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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Most customers in Merlin's Bridge get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
How it works
You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Related advice
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 adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Merlin's Bridge
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
How do I book?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Do you do work for letting agents?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Do you cover the entire of Pembrokeshire?
Across the UK, so Merlin's Bridge is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Merlin's Bridge, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
