Non-slip bath coating near Ardtun

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ardtun

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Ardtun

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Are there extra charges for Ardtun?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I clean it?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we are called out for in Ardtun

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repairing versus replacing in Ardtun

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ardtun. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ardtun use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
