Non-slip bath coating for Gibraltar homes

Non-slip bath coating in Gibraltar without replacing anything

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 are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Gibraltar and across Buckinghamshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Gibraltar

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your HP17 postcode.

Do you work in Gibraltar?

We do. We send a technician to Gibraltar for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Buckinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Gibraltar?

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Gibraltar. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price
