How we handle non-slip bath coating in Gallowstree Common
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Gallowstree Common
There’s no area surcharge for Gallowstree Common. The price reflects:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How many items we do on one visit
Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Getting a price from photos
Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Details of any past repairs
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Gallowstree Common?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
What happens on the day
We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
