How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ganavan
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Ganavan questions
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
What happens after I send pictures?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Do you work in Ganavan?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ganavan. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Other services in Ganavan
Landlord and trade work in Ganavan
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
What we are called out for in Ganavan
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.

Repairing versus replacing in Ganavan

When a repair isn’t the answer
Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.
