About our non-slip bath coating in Castlebay

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Castlebay. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should you replace it?

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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, 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 book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One visit for most repairs

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
