Non-slip bath coating near Bonaly

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bonaly

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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Bonaly and across Edinburgh. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

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

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 typically cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Bonaly

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is

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. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
