About our non-slip bath coating in Drylaw

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Materials we work on in Drylaw

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

The process

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EH4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Drylaw, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
