Non-slip bath & shower coating in Tirley Knowle, Gloucestershire
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Tirley Knowle, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Can I fix it myself?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Non-slip bath coating in Tirley Knowle without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tirley Knowle and across Gloucestershire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
We do not charge extra for travel to Tirley Knowle. The price depends on:
- How hard the colour is to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How many items we do on one visit
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Any details about the material
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
