About our non-slip bath coating in Shillingford Abbot
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on 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 worn-out textured areas.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shillingford Abbot
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Get a quote
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Shillingford Abbot. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- What kind of damage it is
- Doing more than one item at once
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Getting a price from pictures
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repairing versus replacing in Shillingford Abbot
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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shillingford Abbot?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
