How we handle non-slip bath coating in South Newington
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no area surcharge for South Newington. The price reflects:
- The material
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

FAQs for South Newington
Do you work in South Newington?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to South Newington from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Repair or replace in South Newington?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How it works
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
