Non-slip bath coating at your home in Bielside

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in East Lothian. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bielside

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

The process

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Repair or replace in Bielside?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A 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.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Bielside questions

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will I see the coating?

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

Do you work in Bielside?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Bielside for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bielside use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
