About our non-slip bath coating in Bowdon
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Bowdon
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bowdon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.
How the visit works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
How to get a price

Common questions in Bowdon
Will the price change on the day?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Bowdon?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your WA14 postcode.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
How do I book?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Bowdon?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
The things customers generally mention when they call include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
- How long it needs to cure
- What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The colour and finish to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.
Getting a price from photos
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
