About our non-slip bath coating in Gipsyville
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix
A repair is not right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
Most clients in Gipsyville get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
Advice
What affects the price in Gipsyville
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Details of any past repairs
Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gipsyville, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
