Non-slip bath coating in Bowlee, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Bowlee and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Bowlee
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Bowlee
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Will the price change on the day?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How soon can you come?
Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Bowlee
What a repair can’t fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowlee
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
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.
Send pictures for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Any details about the material
