About our non-slip bath coating in Woolston
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Woolston and across Southampton. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Woolston?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Advice
When to call us in Woolston
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.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.
Send pictures for a quote
When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

- A photo taken from further back
- Your postcode, so we can check dates

Do you work in Woolston?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Woolston for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

All of Southampton, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
