Trusted non-slip bath coating in Clestrain

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Clestrain

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Orkney Islands. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Related advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Clestrain

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Clestrain?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your KW17 postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Clestrain

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

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clestrain use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Clestrain

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Clestrain?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How your room will be protected
