Non-slip bath coating near Gunville

Non-slip bath coating in Gunville, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Isle of Wight. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Gunville, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Gunville. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are 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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PO30 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Questions from Gunville

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you come to Gunville?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Gunville and the rest of Isle of Wight. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.
