Repairing versus replacing in Garlieston
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Garlieston
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’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your pictures
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Garlieston questions
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Do you charge for travel?
We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Can landlords book you?
Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When we would advise against a repair
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- 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 photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
For landlords and businesses
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
If you manage property in Garlieston, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
