Non-slip bath coating in Tapnage without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tapnage and across Hampshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair can’t fix

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
Common questions in Tapnage
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you come to Tapnage?
We do. Repair technicians travel to Tapnage from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Tapnage?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

How we price non-slip bath coating
We charge the same across the UK, including Tapnage. The price reflects:
- The type of damage
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
