Non-slip bath coating in Dowsdale without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Dowsdale questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

What affects the price in Dowsdale

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

We do not 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.

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
