Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bitterne
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Bitterne

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Bitterne
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do you work in Bitterne?
We do. We send a technician to Bitterne for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not right for every job, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Repair or replace in Bitterne?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What else we do in Bitterne
What non-slip bath coating costs
There’s no charge for travel to Bitterne. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
- The colour and finish to match
- How many areas need work
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Send photos for a quote
We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:
- The material, if you know it
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
