Non-slip bath & shower coating in Riverside, Cardiff
Non-slip bath coating in and around Riverside: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Riverside
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. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Riverside
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Before you book anyone
- What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- What protection goes down before work starts
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Riverside
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
What happens after I send photos?
You will get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We do not charge extra for travel to Riverside. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Riverside, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
