How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Non-slip bath coating in Galleywood without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Galleywood?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and 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.

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Galleywood

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Galleywood

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

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

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Galleywood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.
