How we handle non-slip bath coating in Gilsland
It’s popular with 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 wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What happens on the day
We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit

What we are called out for in Gilsland
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What your quote should include
- Who will actually do the work
- How soon you can use it again
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- How hard the colour is to match
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gilsland. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
Work for landlords and builders
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gilsland as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.
