Non-slip bath coating near Brae

Non-slip bath coating in Brae without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Brae. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Brae

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Brae.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Brae?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers normally contact us about:

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
