Trusted non-slip bath coating in Cowcaddens

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cowcaddens use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Non-slip bath coating in Cowcaddens without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You’re 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. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cowcaddens. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Cowcaddens

  • Enamelled baths

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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

The process

You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
