Non-Slip Bath Coating in Gainford

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Gainford
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- 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, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How hard the colour is to match
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- The size and number of damaged areas
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Natural light rather than flash
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
