Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gilson
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.
Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Gilson
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
How do I book?
Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Will there be a smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gilson.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Advice
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.
Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Should you replace it?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
