Non-slip bath coating near Cornhill on Tweed

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cornhill on Tweed

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. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Cornhill on Tweed

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Cornhill on Tweed

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we are called out for in Cornhill on Tweed

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Cornhill on Tweed. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t 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 will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
