Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gillow Heath
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gillow Heath as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How many areas need work
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The colour and finish to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send pictures for a quote
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
For a price in Gillow Heath, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Gillow Heath: your questions answered
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We review the photos and send a fixed quote.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Gillow Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

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 does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
