Non-slip bath & shower coating in Downside, North Somerset
Non-slip bath coating across Downside and nearby, done in a single visit in most cases and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Downside
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Downside. The price reflects:
- How many areas need work
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

Downside questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Do you charge for travel?
There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Do you cover the whole of North Somerset?
We work UK-wide, and that includes Downside. Prices don’t change with location.
When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 before booking.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
What we are called out for in Downside
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
Repairing versus replacing in Downside
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.
