Trusted non-slip bath coating in Arbuthnott

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Arbuthnott. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Arbuthnott clients choose us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

About our non-slip bath coating in Arbuthnott

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

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 landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Arbuthnott as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can

FAQs for Arbuthnott

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
