Our repair technicians come to Winterbourne for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.

About our non-slip bath coating in Winterbourne
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Winterbourne as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around Winterbourne, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Winterbourne use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
Getting a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Winterbourne questions
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.
What information do you need?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
What happens after I send pictures?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When we would advise against a repair
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
