About our non-slip bath coating in Stowe
It’s popular with 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 safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Stowe
For anyone letting property in or around Stowe, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Questions from Stowe
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.
Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?
The whole UK, including all of Staffordshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Stowe?
We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your WS13 postcode.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
What happens if you find more damage?
Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
When a repair isn’t the answer
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Materials we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
What affects the price in Stowe
There is no area surcharge for Stowe. The price reflects:
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stowe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Getting a price from pictures
You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Details of any past repairs
- Any details about the material
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
