Non-slip bath coating in Baile Ailein

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

About our non-slip bath coating in Baile Ailein

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 booking.

  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Questions from Baile Ailein

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Baile Ailein?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Baile Ailein from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Baile Ailein as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
