Non-slip bath coating in Catterline

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Catterline

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Catterline and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Catterline as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

FAQs for Catterline

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Catterline.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What a repair can’t fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Catterline

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.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price
