Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Gun Hill

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you cover the whole of East Sussex?

We work UK-wide, so Gun Hill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Non-slip bath coating in Gun Hill, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Gun Hill

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Our hiring checklist

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Gun Hill

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repairing versus replacing in Gun Hill

Instead, you could go for 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • No need to remove anything

See our pricing.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
