Non-slip bath coating near Eddleston

What affects the price in Eddleston

There is no charge for travel to Eddleston. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Eddleston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

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

FAQs for Eddleston

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

All of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Eddleston?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Eddleston

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Repair or replace in Eddleston?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A 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.
