Non-slip bath coating at your home in Crathes

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Crathes: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Crathes?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you cover Crathes?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Crathes. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you cover the entire of Aberdeenshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Landlord and trade work in Crathes

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Crathes?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Everything repaired in place

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price
