How we handle non-slip bath coating in Pondwell
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pondwell and across Isle of Wight. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Common problems we fix in Pondwell
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What we do, step by step
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
How to get a price
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Pondwell, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Pondwell
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you price it without visiting?
Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
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.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Pondwell?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

- Any earlier repairs or coatings
