Non-slip bath & shower coating in Scowles, Gloucestershire
Our technicians come to Scowles for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What affects the price in Scowles
We charge the same across the UK, including Scowles. The price reflects:
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Quotes from your photos
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your GL16 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Non-slip bath coating in Scowles without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Scowles: your questions answered
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Scowles?
We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your GL16 postcode.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
What information do you need?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When to call us in Scowles
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- How changes to the job are handled
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Whether the price covers travel
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
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
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
