Non-slip bath coating in Oldbury-on-Severn without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oldbury-on-Severn as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice
Oldbury-on-Severn questions
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Will it make a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Should you replace it?
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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What a repair cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually 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
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.
