About our non-slip bath coating in Craigentinny

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Craigentinny

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Craigentinny. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 price the job.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Craigentinny

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Edinburgh and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Craigentinny

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for 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. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH7 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
