Non-slip bath coating in Dumbarton without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Dumbarton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Dumbarton

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in West Dunbartonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Dumbarton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For a price in Dumbarton, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
