How we handle non-slip bath coating in Stoke Canon
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Canon as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What else we do in Stoke Canon
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What kind of damage it is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed price
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX5 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
Ask for a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Related advice
When we would advise against a repair
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we work on in Stoke Canon

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
