When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sowhill
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What else we do in Sowhill
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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why us?
- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
- One price list for the whole UK
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted

What we do, step by step
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Clear the area around the damage
How to get a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Sowhill
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
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.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- How hard the colour is to match
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
How to get a fixed price
Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:
- The material, if you know it
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
If you are in Sowhill and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Worn-out textured areas
