Non-Slip Bath Coating for Sprat's Down homes
We travel to Sprat's Down for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
DIY kit or professional repair?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sprat's Down
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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sprat's Down and across Hampshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Sprat's Down
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
What happens after I send photos?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do the materials smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sprat's Down. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- The type of damage
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
