How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ballater

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us 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 is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Ballater

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

FAQs for Ballater

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Repair or replace in Ballater?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A fixed quote before booking

When to call us in Ballater

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • When it can be used again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ballater. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
