Non-slip bath & shower coating in Witney, Oxfordshire
We travel to Witney for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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, then guarantee it for a year.
About our non-slip bath coating in Witney
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What we are called out for in Witney
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas

Questions from Witney
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Do you work in Witney?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Witney from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
What affects the price in Witney
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Access to the area
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Advice
Repair or replace in Witney?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
