About our non-slip bath coating in Drumoak

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Drumoak

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Drumoak

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 treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

What we’re called out for in Drumoak

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your AB31 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Drumoak: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there any odour?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
