Non-slip bath coating in Broadstone, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Broadstone

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We cover the entire UK, including Broadstone and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Broadstone?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

See our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you are in Broadstone and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
