Non-slip bath & shower coating in Newport, Gloucestershire
Non-slip bath coating in and around Newport: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
The process
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newport
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Newport

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What the surface is made of
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths

Newport: your questions answered
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you work in Newport?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Newport from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
