Need non-slip bath coating in Gold Tops?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Non-slip bath coating in Gold Tops without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Gold Tops

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before you book anyone

  • How the colour is matched
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel

Questions from Gold Tops

Do you work in Gold Tops?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Gold Tops and the rest of Newport. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Gold Tops and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Gold Tops?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
