How we handle non-slip bath coating in Portmead
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Swansea. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Portmead
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Common questions in Portmead
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SA5 postcode.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

When we’d advise against a repair
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- 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 before booking.

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 won’t last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
