Non-slip bath coating at your home in Nash
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Nash and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for Nash. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The colour and finish to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage

- Details of any past repairs
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Nash questions
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you come to Nash?
We do. We send a technician to Nash for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What areas do you cover?
We cover the whole UK, including Nash and the rest of Newport. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Other services in Nash
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nash
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, a professional repair is worth it.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
