Non-slip bath & shower coating in Oborne, Dorset
Non-slip bath coating across Oborne and nearby, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
For landlords and businesses
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Oborne
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We charge the same across the UK, including Oborne. The price reflects:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Oborne, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Common problems we fix in Oborne
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.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
