Trusted non-slip bath coating in Bowshaw

Non-slip bath coating in Bowshaw without replacing anything

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 worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Honest limits

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Bowshaw questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Do you come to Bowshaw?

We do. We send a technician to Bowshaw for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What we are called out for in Bowshaw

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Work done at your home or business

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowshaw

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Bowshaw, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
