Non-slip bath & shower coating in Little Atherfield, Isle of Wight

Non-slip bath coating in Little Atherfield without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Little Atherfield
What information do you need?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Little Atherfield?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Little Atherfield and the rest of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Little Atherfield use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally 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.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, 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, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
