How we handle non-slip bath coating in Swallows Cross
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Swallows Cross
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
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.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
How the visit works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Swallows Cross
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The things clients typically mention when they call are:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- How long it needs to cure
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What aftercare is recommended
What a repair can’t 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 will tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Repair or replace in Swallows Cross?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
