Honest limits
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Dovenby
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Dovenby?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What non-slip bath coating costs
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Access to the area
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Quotes from your pictures
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A picture taken from further back
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For a price in Dovenby, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Repairing versus replacing in Dovenby
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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
