Repair or replace in Lake?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. If your bath or shower tray in Lake is sound, a repair is typically the better choice.
Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lake
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Most jobs around Lake are in family homes and bungalows. A chip, rust spot or worn surface is repaired in a single visit, with the bath back in use soon after.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Lake
I let a flat near Lake station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, rental work is a big part of what we do.
Can you restore the original baths and shower trays in an older house in Lake?
In most cases: period pieces can be hard to match if replaced. Send photos and we will advise.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes cost nothing and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- How much damage there is
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book.
How to get a fixed quote
Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lake, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Lake: what to know about non-slip bath coating

Lake is about 1 mile south-west of Sandown, in the Isle of Wight. We agree a date that works for you, and you’ll know when to expect us, so you are not left waiting in all day. We cover 125 places in the Isle of Wight, from the larger towns to small villages. You can also see our page for London, about 75 miles away.

Common problems we fix in Lake
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Most people contact us when they notice something like this:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
In the older streets of Lake, around landmarks like Church of The Good Shepherd, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and non-slip bath coating gives it years more use.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included. Around Lake, access and parking are typically easy. Mention a lane, gate or long drive when you book and we will plan for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip 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
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Getting a price
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
