Non-slip bath coating near Elie

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Elie

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Elie, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common problems we fix in Elie

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

FAQs for Elie

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you work in Elie?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Elie from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Elie included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

If you manage property in Elie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we cannot put right

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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