  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays

Non-slip bath coating in Lowther, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Questions from Lowther

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

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

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Repair or replace in Lowther?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
