About our non-slip bath coating in Bowness-on-Windermere

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Bowness-on-Windermere questions

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Do you come to Bowness-on-Windermere?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Bowness-on-Windermere and the rest of Cumbria. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Bowness-on-Windermere?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How the visit works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Bowness-on-Windermere, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we are called out for in Bowness-on-Windermere

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before booking

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
