Non-slip bath coating in Dunsbury, done in place
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Dunsbury
Smooth surfaces are 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.
Send us a picture if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
How it works
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Dunsbury
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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 often lifts.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
FAQs for Dunsbury
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dunsbury. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What affects the price in Dunsbury
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
If you’re in Dunsbury and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
