Non-slip bath coating near Girlington

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

About our non-slip bath coating in Girlington

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. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Girlington questions

Do you cover the whole of Bradford?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are there extra charges for Girlington?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Girlington. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Girlington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Girlington customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
