Non-slip bath coating in Gilling West

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Gilling West

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Gilling West

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.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

See our full price list.

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs

Most clients in Gilling West get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

If you manage property in Gilling West, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
