Non-slip bath coating near Aithsetter

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Aithsetter as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Non-slip bath coating in Aithsetter without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Aithsetter

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How do I clean it?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Aithsetter.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What we are called out for in Aithsetter

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
