Non-slip bath & shower coating in Hillyfields, Southampton
Our technicians come to Hillyfields for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hillyfields
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 enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hillyfields and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: 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 price, not a guess.
Other services in Hillyfields
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Hillyfields
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How do I clean it?

Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Can you price it without visiting?
Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
