Non-slip bath & shower coating in Alstone, Somerset
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Alstone and the surrounding area, typically in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Work for landlords and builders
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Alstone
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- 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.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
How to get a price
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.
Advice
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What we are called out for in Alstone
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- What aftercare is recommended
- When it can be used again
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Alstone. What changes the price is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- The material, if you know it
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TA9 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
What we can’t put right
Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Alstone

Repairing versus replacing in Alstone
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Common questions in Alstone
Do you cover Alstone?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Alstone from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
