Non-slip bath & shower coating in Andover, Hampshire
We travel to Andover for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
About our non-slip bath coating in Andover
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Andover questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Andover?
Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When to call us in Andover
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How soon you can use it again
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.
What we do, step by step
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
