About our non-slip bath coating in Ashgill

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Ashgill

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ashgill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Ashgill and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Ashgill

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ashgill as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we’re called out for in Ashgill

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Ashgill

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

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.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How do I book?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Ashgill and the rest of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Ashgill?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your ML9 postcode.
