Non-slip bath & shower coating in Townhill, Swansea
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Townhill, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Townhill
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Townhill as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Townhill
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People generally call us after spotting one of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Before you book anyone
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Whether they match the colour on site
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Other services in Townhill
Landlord and trade work in Townhill
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Townhill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
The process
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
