Landlords, agents and businesses in Rowell
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rowell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
Non-slip bath coating in Rowell, 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. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Rowell?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces

How the visit works
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Have a window or extractor fan available

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.
