Non-slip bath & shower coating in South Poorton, Dorset
We travel to South Poorton for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
About our non-slip bath coating in South Poorton
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in South Poorton and across Dorset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from South Poorton

Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

What affects the price in South Poorton
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How much damage there is
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- Access to the area
Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Where you are, by postcode
- A photo taken from further back
If you are in South Poorton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
Honest limits
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Why us?
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- One visit for most repairs

How the visit works

- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
Getting a price
