About our non-slip bath coating in Cardrona

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Cardrona and across the Scottish Borders. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Cardrona

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Cardrona. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Cardrona

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
