Non-slip bath & shower coating in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays for householders, landlords and businesses in Tewkesbury. Free, fixed quotes from your pictures.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tewkesbury use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tewkesbury
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether we combine several jobs
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
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.

How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can
How to get a price
To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Tewkesbury. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Tewkesbury
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The things customers usually mention when they call include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What prep work is covered
- How changes to the job are handled
- When it can be used again
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
