Non-slip bath coating near Gurnard

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gurnard

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Gurnard

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Gurnard

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

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

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • Who turns up on the day

Gurnard: your questions answered

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Gurnard and the rest of Isle of Wight. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Gurnard?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

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