Non-slip bath coating near Bellsquarry

What we are called out for in Bellsquarry

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.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before booking

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bellsquarry

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most 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’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Outdoor surfaces

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

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Bellsquarry

Do you come to Bellsquarry?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bellsquarry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Access to the area
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Bellsquarry

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
