Non-slip bath coating for Barcaldine homes

Non-slip bath coating in Barcaldine without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Barcaldine

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

We work UK-wide, so Barcaldine is covered. Prices do not change with location.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your PA37 postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Barcaldine

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the colour is matched

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
