About our non-slip bath coating in Dunster
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Somerset. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Dunster?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Common reasons people in Dunster contact us include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before booking anyone
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What prep work is covered
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What we do, step by step
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Any details about the material
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Details of any past repairs
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Dunster as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.

Questions from Dunster
Is it worth repairing rather 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 review the photos and send a fixed quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you come to Dunster?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Dunster from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. 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
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
