How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ropley
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. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Why repair rather than replace?
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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What happens on the day
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Questions from Ropley
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas

What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How much damage there is
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
