Non-slip bath coating in Cowgrove without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BH21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Prices and what affects them
You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
FAQs for Cowgrove
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Cowgrove?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

When to call us in Cowgrove
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include
- How changes to the job are handled
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- Aftercare advice
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
Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What else we do in Cowgrove
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cowgrove. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
