About our non-slip bath coating in Dunbeg

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Dunbeg

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are 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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Questions from Dunbeg

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your PA37 postcode.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Dunbeg. Prices do not change with location.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it messy?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When to call us in Dunbeg

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
