Questions from Gilley Law
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
How soon can you come?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do you cover the entire of Sunderland?
All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can tenants book a repair?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
About our non-slip bath coating in Gilley Law
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Gilley Law
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What else we do in Gilley Law
What a repair cannot fix
Not everything can be repaired, and we would 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 will say what we think before you book.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
What we do, step by step
On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Open a window if you can
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Ask for a price
We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How much damage there is
- The type of damage
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Where you are, by postcode
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What we are called out for in Gilley Law
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.
Contact us if you’ve noticed:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas
Before booking anyone
- Whether they match the colour on site
- A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
