Non-slip bath coating in Busby

About our non-slip bath coating in Busby

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Busby as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Busby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Busby

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Renfrewshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Is it messy?

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

Do you cover Busby?

We do. We send a technician to Busby for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How do I clean it?

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

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Busby

Repair or replace in Busby?

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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Busby, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
