Trusted non-slip bath coating in Dumfries

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Dumfries, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Non-slip bath coating in Dumfries without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Common questions in Dumfries

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

We cover the entire UK, including Dumfries and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When can you do it?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Dumfries. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When to call us in Dumfries

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
