Non-slip bath coating at your home in Darvel

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Darvel

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Darvel?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

FAQs for Darvel

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the whole of East Ayrshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Darvel included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Darvel

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any details about the material

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KA17 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
