Advice
Non-slip bath coating in East Bowling, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for East Bowling
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, East Bowling included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
