Non-slip bath coating in St Mary's without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Southampton. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

St Mary's: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you work in St Mary's?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to St Mary's. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Prices and what affects them
There is no charge for travel to St Mary's. The price comes down to:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Access to the area
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Work for landlords and builders
For anyone letting property in or around St Mary's, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
