Non-slip bath coating near Dunbeath

Non-slip bath coating in Dunbeath without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Highland 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 replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

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

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Dunbeath, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Dunbeath

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but 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:

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

Our hiring checklist

Dunbeath: your questions answered

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you cover Dunbeath?

We do. Technicians travel to Dunbeath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Can landlords book you?

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

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
