Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gatcombe
It’s popular with 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 regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Gatcombe and across Isle of Wight. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Gatcombe
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.

- The area to be treated is masked out.
- 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.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Gatcombe
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
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.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Is there any odour?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
