Non-slip bath coating for Aultbea homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Aultbea

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Aultbea as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Advice

FAQs for Aultbea

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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

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

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Aultbea, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
