Non-slip bath coating in Gumley

Non-slip bath coating in Gumley, done in place

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

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace in Gumley?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

Read our prices page.

What affects the price in Gumley

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

  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common problems we fix in Gumley

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before booking anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Gumley

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Gumley and the rest of Northamptonshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.
