Non-slip bath & shower coating in Old Sarum, Wiltshire
Non-slip bath coating in Old Sarum without the cost of replacing. Get a fixed price from your photos, then book a visit.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
About our non-slip bath coating in Old Sarum
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Make sure the area is dry

Repair or replace in Old Sarum?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Common questions in Old Sarum
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you cover Old Sarum?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Old Sarum and the rest of Wiltshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Old Sarum. The price depends on:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any details about the material
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Can I fix it myself?
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Common problems we fix in Old Sarum
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
What your quote should include
- If travel is included in the price
- How the colour is matched
- When it can be used again
- Who will actually do the work
When a repair isn’t the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
