About our non-slip bath coating in Branahuie

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Branahuie as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Branahuie

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Branahuie is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

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

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What happens next?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What affects the price in Branahuie

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.

Repair or replace in Branahuie?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Branahuie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Branahuie clients choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

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

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Branahuie

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work
