Non-slip bath coating in Dowlish Ford, done in place
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. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
When to call us in Dowlish Ford
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions from Dowlish Ford
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Somerset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
Are there extra charges for Dowlish Ford?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dowlish Ford
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
