How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upper Stowe

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Upper Stowe?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, 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: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

See our prices page.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Stowe

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What affects the price in Upper Stowe

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Upper Stowe, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Common questions in Upper Stowe

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you come to Upper Stowe?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Upper Stowe for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Upper Stowe?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

  • Outdoor surfaces

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
