Non-slip bath & shower coating in Alderney, Poole
We travel to Alderney for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.
For anyone letting property in or around Alderney, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
Non-slip bath coating in Alderney, done in place
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Alderney, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Alderney
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Alderney?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
