Non-slip bath coating in Torwood, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Torwood
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How your room will be protected
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- What the surface is made of
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A picture taken from further back
- The material, if you know it
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Torwood and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What happens on the day
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.
