Non-slip bath coating in North Nibley without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in North Nibley and across Gloucestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in North Nibley
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you cover North Nibley?
We do. Repair technicians travel to North Nibley from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Open a window if you can
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When to call us in North Nibley
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long it needs to cure
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- What the surface is made of
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed price
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Most customers in North Nibley get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
