Questions from Portland
Do you hold any accreditations?

Do you come to Portland?
We do. We send a technician to Portland for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Portland?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Which areas do you work in?
We cover the entire UK, including Portland and the rest of Dorset. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Portland
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. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Portland
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Natural light rather than flash
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Can I fix it myself?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Portland
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portland use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
When we’d advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
Repair or replace in Portland?
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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
