  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Comiston

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Comiston questions

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a 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, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Comiston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Comiston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
