Non-slip bath coating for Newport homes

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths

About our non-slip bath coating in Newport

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Newport questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you come to Newport?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Newport from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Newport?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Landlord and trade work in Newport

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

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.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
