How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Ardgay. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • The material

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ardgay

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Ardgay and everywhere else. 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.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath 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: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 usually the cheaper route.

When to call us in Ardgay

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Landlord and trade work in Ardgay

If you manage property in Ardgay, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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.

What we work on

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

  • Shower trays
