About our non-slip bath coating in Highcliffe
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Highcliffe questions
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Highcliffe?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Does someone need to be in?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.
How quickly can you book me in?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Other services in Highcliffe
Repair or replace in Highcliffe?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Highcliffe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Where you are, by postcode
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Highcliffe
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When we’d advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
How it works
You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
