About our non-slip bath coating in Lowes Barn
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. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Lowes Barn
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- What protection goes down before work starts
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
What a repair can’t fix
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.
What you get with us
- Everything repaired in place
- Work done at your home or business
- We leave the room as we found it
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

Can I fix it myself?
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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Lowes Barn: your questions answered
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do you work in Lowes Barn?
Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Lowes Barn from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it messy?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can tenants book a repair?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is there any odour?
There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The material
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
How to get a fixed quote
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- One sharp close-up of the damage
Most customers in Lowes Barn get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
The process
When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
