Need non-slip bath coating in Broadmeadows?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Broadmeadows

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Broadmeadows and across the Scottish Borders. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Broadmeadows

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Broadmeadows customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

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 don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

When to call us in Broadmeadows

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Broadmeadows contact us include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

10 questions to ask before you book

Broadmeadows questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Broadmeadows

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Broadmeadows get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Broadmeadows

If you manage property in Broadmeadows, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
