How we handle non-slip bath coating in Whiddon Down
The coating is clear and textured, 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 are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Whiddon Down
Smooth surfaces are 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.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What preparation is included
Can I fix it myself?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
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.
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
Repair or replace in Whiddon Down?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.
Why us?
- We leave the room as we found it
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- One visit for most repairs

How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking or access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Whiddon Down?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
