How we handle non-slip bath coating in Àird

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Àird

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Àird, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Àird: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the entire of Highland?

We cover the entire UK, including Àird and the rest of Highland. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work in Àird?

We do. Technicians travel to Àird from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

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

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
