Non-slip bath coating at your home in Swimbridge
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
When to call us in Swimbridge
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any details about the material
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What else we do in Swimbridge
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swimbridge use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Repairing versus replacing in Swimbridge
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Work done at your home or business
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Fixed prices from your photos

Common questions in Swimbridge
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What we do, step by step
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
