Non-Slip Bath Coating for Connel homes
We travel to Connel for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Connel
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Connel (Gaelic: A'Choingheal) is about 40 miles north-west of Helensburgh, in Argyll and Bute. We work in every kind of home, old or new, large or small, as well as offices, shops and holiday lets. Connel is one of 118 places in Argyll and Bute we cover. We work right across the region, from Connel to Glasgow (60 miles away).
All of PA37 is covered, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Local streets include St Oran's Place, Powell Place and Grosvenor Crescent, all of which we cover.

Some remote addresses need extra planning, so call us to arrange it.
What’s near Connel

Further afield, we also cover the area around Lorn and Islands Hospital (4.9 miles south-west) and Dunstaffnage Castle (1.8 miles west). For a walk, there is Lochan Dubh.
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Connel

Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

When we would advise against a repair
A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:
- 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
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 we do, step by step
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the area is dry
- Point us to the nearest place to park
Ask for a price
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Advice
Landlord and trade work in Connel
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Connel as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Connel, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.
What affects the price in Connel
Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Details of any past repairs
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
Connel questions
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Do you come to Connel?
We do. We send a technician to Connel for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
