Non-slip bath coating near Bridge of Dee

Non-slip bath coating in Bridge of Dee, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Bridge of Dee, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. 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?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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