How we handle non-slip bath coating in Burntisland

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

Burntisland questions

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

How do I clean it?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Burntisland?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Burntisland

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
