Non-slip bath coating in Gaunts

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Gaunts. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH21 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

About our non-slip bath coating in Gaunts

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Gaunts?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Gaunts clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No extra charge for your area
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gaunts

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Gaunts questions

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What information do you need?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Gaunts

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
