Trusted non-slip bath coating in Armadale

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Non-slip bath coating in Armadale, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Armadale

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Armadale

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Armadale

For anyone letting property in or around Armadale, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

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

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Armadale

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

Most customers in Armadale get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
