Non-slip bath & shower coating in Upton, Southampton
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays at your home in Upton, with a one-year guarantee on every repair.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Upton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Upton: your questions answered
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you come to Upton?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Upton and the rest of Southampton. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Do you cover the whole of Southampton?
Across the UK, and that includes Upton. Prices don’t change with location.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Upton
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us after spotting something like this:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
Questions to ask before booking
- Who will actually do the work
- If travel is included in the price
- When it can be used again
- How the room is protected while they work
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
Work for landlords and builders
If you manage property in Upton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
