Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bowhill

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Bowhill

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Bowhill

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowhill

The alternatives are 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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A fixed quote before you book

Bowhill: your questions answered

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover the whole of Fife?

Everywhere in the UK, Bowhill included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you cover Bowhill?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bowhill. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowhill

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
