DIY repairs versus a professional job
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
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.
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ardentinny
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ardentinny as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Ardentinny questions
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens next?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Ardentinny and the rest of Argyll and Bute. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Repair or replace in Ardentinny?
Instead, you could go for 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
How it works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
