Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Non-slip bath coating in Fowlis without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dundee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Fowlis

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

How do I clean it?

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

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

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Fowlis. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Get a quote

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DD2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

If you manage property in Fowlis, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
