Non-slip bath coating for Bower homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bower

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 work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bower

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

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. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Bower

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.

Common reasons people in Bower contact us include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How to care for the finish
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Bower: your questions answered

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
