Non-slip bath coating in Pontrilas without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Pontrilas: your questions answered
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work in Pontrilas?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Pontrilas from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are 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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Pontrilas. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The type of damage
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it

- Something in shot to show the size
