Non-slip bath coating in Uplyme without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Uplyme as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Uplyme
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Clients generally contact us about:
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How changes to the job are handled
- How the room is protected while they work
- Aftercare advice
How the visit works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Open a window if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Most customers in Uplyme get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Advice
When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For anyone letting property in or around Uplyme, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Uplyme. The price depends on:
- The type of damage
- What the surface is made of
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Uplyme
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is a repair better than a new one?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dorset.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Uplyme?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
