Need non-slip bath coating in Gissing?

What happens on the day

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Non-slip bath coating in Gissing, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why Gissing clients choose us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Enamelled baths
  • Acrylic baths

Questions from Gissing

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Gissing. Our prices are the same everywhere.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
