About our non-slip bath coating in Sowton
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How to get a price
There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Questions from Sowton
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
How do I book?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can tenants book a repair?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
Repairing versus replacing in Sowton
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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sowton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
- What it’s made of, if you know
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
