Non-slip bath & shower coating in The Knap, Vale of Glamorgan
Non-slip bath coating in and around The Knap: a fixed quote from photos, a tidy visit and a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a 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 The Knap. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Why The Knap clients choose us
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- No need to remove anything

Non-slip bath coating in The Knap, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Ensure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available

Is there a guarantee?

Landlord and trade work in The Knap
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Knap as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in The Knap
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- How your room will be protected
When we’d advise against a repair
Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:
- 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.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
What affects the price in The Knap
There is no area surcharge for The Knap. What changes the price is:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from photos
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
