Non-slip bath coating in Little Canford without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Little Canford: your questions answered
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
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.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Little Canford is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
When a repair is not the answer
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.
Materials we work on in Little Canford

Prices and what affects them
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
How to get a fixed quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Details of any past repairs
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
