Non-slip bath coating at your home in The Rock
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in The Rock
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in The Rock
Do you hold any accreditations?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What do you need from me?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you cover the whole of Caerphilly?
The whole UK, including all of Caerphilly. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

The process
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.
- 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.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
How to get a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Repairing versus replacing in The Rock
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.
