Non-slip bath coating in Gorof without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Gorof as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Advice
When we’d advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What we work on

Prices and what affects them
We charge the same across the UK, including Gorof. The price reflects:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
How to get a fixed price
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
Repair or replace in Gorof?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Gorof questions
What happens after I send photos?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
