Non-slip bath coating in Itchen Stoke

Non-slip bath coating in Itchen Stoke, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Itchen Stoke and across Hampshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in Itchen Stoke

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 generally the cheaper route.

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.

Landlord and trade work in Itchen Stoke

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
