How we handle non-slip bath coating in Cattistock
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Cattistock: your questions answered
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Cattistock
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

- What preparation is included
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- How changes to the job are handled
What affects the price in Cattistock
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How much damage there is
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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
How to get a fixed price
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
Most customers in Cattistock get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cattistock
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
