Non-slip bath coating at your home in Holcombe
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Holcombe and across Dorset. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
Landlord and trade work in Holcombe
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holcombe use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
How we price non-slip bath coating
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:
- How many areas need work
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Holcombe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Natural light rather than flash
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
When to call us in Holcombe
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Look out for these signs:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What prep work is covered
- What protection goes down before work starts
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Holcombe: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
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.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Repairing versus replacing in Holcombe
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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
