Non-slip bath coating in Gordon without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:

- Outdoor surfaces

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
The process
Once we are 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, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Open a window if you can

Advice
Common questions in Gordon
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.
How quickly can you book me in?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What affects the price in Gordon
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Doing more than one item at once
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How much damage there is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A photo taken from further back
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TD3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
What you get with us
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Free fixed quotes from pictures
- Most jobs done in one visit

When to call us in Gordon
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- If travel is included in the price
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How the room is protected while they work
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
