DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shirley
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 repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Shirley and across Southampton. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Shirley
Are there extra charges for Shirley?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you quote from photos?
Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you cover the entire of Southampton?
Across the UK, so Shirley is covered. Prices do not change with location.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens after I send photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
The process
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. 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.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- The type of damage
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shirley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
