Cairnie questions

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Cairnie?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Cairnie and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Cairnie

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Common problems we fix in Cairnie

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Cairnie

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Cairnie clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One price list for the entire UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cairnie

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Cairnie use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

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

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
