Non-Slip Bath Coating in Pokesdown
Local non-slip bath coating for Pokesdown: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Pokesdown
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Bournemouth. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Pokesdown
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you come to Pokesdown?
We do. We send a technician to Pokesdown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What areas do you cover?
The entire UK, including all of Bournemouth. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Pokesdown?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Before you book anyone
- Whether the price covers travel
- How the room is protected while they work
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether they match the colour on site
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Pokesdown. The price reflects:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- What the surface is made of
- The size and number of damaged areas
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pokesdown. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What happens on the day
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
