It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in East Wemyss?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

East Wemyss: your questions answered

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to East Wemyss. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
