About our non-slip bath coating in Shanklin Village
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Shanklin Village as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

What affects the price in Shanklin Village

- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Shanklin Village. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
