Book non-slip bath coating in Clachan

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 doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

About our non-slip bath coating in Clachan

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Clachan questions

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Argyll and Bute.

When to call us in Clachan

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

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Clachan

For anyone letting property in or around Clachan, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Clachan?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
