Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gainsborough

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Honest limits

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.

Surfaces we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DN21 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Gainsborough

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For a price in Gainsborough, 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.

Common questions in Gainsborough

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Gainsborough?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gainsborough and the rest of Lincolnshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
