Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Newtown
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Newtown?
We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your NP23 postcode.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Newtown
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
All of our repairs are guaranteed 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.

What we can’t put right
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Newtown
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
What happens on the day
Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Blaenau Gwent and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
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 reply with a fixed price.
When to call us in Newtown
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Repair or replace in Newtown?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
