How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- The type of damage
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Non-slip bath coating in Dowsby without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Dowsby
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Advice
FAQs for Dowsby
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?
Everywhere in the UK, Dowsby included. There is no extra charge for travel.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Do you cover Dowsby?
Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Dowsby from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Landlord and trade work in Dowsby
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.
Repair or replace in Dowsby?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
