Non-slip bath coating in Chirnside

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Chirnside

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Chirnside

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Chirnside. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Common questions in Chirnside

What happens next?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Chirnside is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Chirnside.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Chirnside

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Chirnside use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TD11 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
