Book non-slip bath coating in Backlands

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Backlands clients choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Backlands

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Backlands

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Backlands

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

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

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover the entire of Moray?

The whole UK, including all of Moray. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Do you work in Backlands?

We do. Technicians travel to Backlands from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
