Non-slip bath coating in Gretton

Non-slip bath coating in Gretton without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Gloucestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Gretton: your questions answered

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Gretton.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, 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.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

When to call us in Gretton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We leave the room as we found it
