Non-slip bath coating in West Gorton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater Manchester. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and businesses in West Gorton

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

Repairing versus replacing in West Gorton

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 adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to West Gorton. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Gorton. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Questions from West Gorton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of Greater Manchester?

We cover the entire UK, including West Gorton and the rest of Greater Manchester. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access
