Non-slip bath coating in Cowling without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Cowling

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cowling

The alternatives are 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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No extra charge for your area

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Questions from Cowling

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Cowling?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Cowling and the rest of North Yorkshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Landlord and trade work in Cowling

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Cowling. The price comes down to:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cowling. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
