Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Carnwath

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

FAQs for Carnwath

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you work in Carnwath?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of South Lanarkshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Carnwath

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. 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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
