Non-slip bath coating at your home in Wickham
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 repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Wickham questions
Are there extra charges for Wickham?
No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Repair or replace in Wickham?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Wickham?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The most common problems we are called about are:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- The length of the guarantee and what it covers
- Who turns up on the day
- What aftercare is recommended
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- What kind of damage it is
- What the surface is made of
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
What a repair can’t fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wickham
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
