Non-slip bath coating in Cathkin

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cathkin

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cathkin as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Lanarkshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Cathkin?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Questions from Cathkin

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
