Non-slip bath coating in Upwey, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Upwey
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- What the surface is made of
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
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.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
For a price in Upwey, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repairing versus replacing in Upwey
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
How it works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
How to get a price
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
Questions from Upwey
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you cover the entire of Dorset?
Everywhere in the UK, Upwey included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
What happens after I send pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Common problems we fix in Upwey
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
