Non-slip bath & shower coating in Bowston, Cumbria
Our repair technicians come to Bowston for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bowston
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. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:
- The material and finish
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Bowston. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
What you get with us
- No extra charge for your area
- Straight answers about what a repair can do
- Most jobs done in one visit
- Nothing taken out or refitted

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bowston
We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
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.
Bowston questions
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Bowston?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
Will there be a smell?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.
