Gerrans: your questions answered
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
About our non-slip bath coating in Gerrans
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
Repairing versus replacing in Gerrans
The alternatives are 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether we combine several jobs
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed quote
When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Send us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TR2 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
How it works
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Gerrans
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
