Trusted non-slip bath coating in Douglastown

About our non-slip bath coating in Douglastown

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Douglastown

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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Common questions in Douglastown

Which areas do you work in?

All of Angus, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
