Non-slip bath coating in Ardwell

Non-slip bath coating in Ardwell without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ardwell

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Ardwell

  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Ardwell

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

All of Dumfries and Galloway, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ardwell?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
