About our non-slip bath coating in Guston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Guston and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Guston?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

10 questions to ask before booking

Guston questions

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Do you work in Guston?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Guston. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

How it works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Guston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
