Non-slip bath & shower coating in Pentrepoeth, Newport
Local non-slip bath coating for Pentrepoeth: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Non-slip bath coating in Pentrepoeth, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
