Non-slip bath & shower coating in Toothill, Hampshire
Our repair technicians come to Toothill for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Non-slip bath coating in Toothill, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Toothill
A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
For a price in Toothill, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Toothill: your questions answered
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice
For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Toothill use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
Builders use us to fix snagging 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.
Repairing versus replacing in Toothill
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
