Non-slip bath coating in Clapgate, done in place
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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Clapgate and across Dorset. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Prices and what affects them
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send pictures for a quote
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
For a price in Clapgate, 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.
