Norton and nearby
Norton is about 4 miles south of Lymington, in Isle of Wight. We travel to homes and businesses in Norton and the surrounding area, so there is no workshop to go to. Norton is one of 125 places in Isle of Wight where we work.
Here we cover the PO41 postcode area. We regularly work on streets such as Linstone Drive, Braxton Meadow and Hammond Close. Neighbouring places we cover include Keyhaven (3 miles north-west), Lower Pennington (3 miles north-west), Pennington (4 miles north-west), Lymore (4 miles north-west) and Milford on Sea (4 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (9 miles east), Ryde (15 miles east), Cowes (10 miles east), Ventnor (15 miles south-east), East Cowes (11 miles east) and Barton (10 miles east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

For rail, the closest station is Lymington Pier station, about 3.9 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Medina (1.8 miles south-west) and Yarmouth Castle (0.7 miles east).

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Norton
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Norton
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is my repair covered?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Norton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
What your quote should include
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- What aftercare is recommended
- How the room is protected while they work
- How the colour is matched
Landlord and trade work in Norton
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Repair or replace in Norton?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Send photos for a quote
Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
The process
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Open a window if you can
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Get a quote
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
