Non-Slip Bath Coating for Newent homes
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Newent, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas

For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Newent
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Newent
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things clients usually mention when they call are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Who will actually do the work
- When it can be used again
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
The process
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Newent questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Gloucestershire.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
Why repair rather than replace?
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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
When a repair isn’t the answer
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
