Non-slip bath coating in Lowca

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Non-slip bath coating in Lowca without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Lowca. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Lowca. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When a repair isn’t the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Lowca

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Lowca?

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions from Lowca

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How do I clean it?

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

Can you quote from photos?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
