Non-slip bath coating in Merston, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Honest limits
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Merston
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work in Merston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Merston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
When to call us in Merston
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

The process
Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Most customers in Merston get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of damage
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace in Merston?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
What you get with us
- Most jobs done in one visit
- No extra charge for your area
- Fixed prices from your photos
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
