Non-slip bath coating near Dornoch

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Dornoch

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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your IV25 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Dornoch questions

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

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

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover the whole of Highland?

Across the UK, and that includes Dornoch. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are there extra charges for Dornoch?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
