Non-slip bath coating near Exnaboe

Non-slip bath coating in Exnaboe, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Exnaboe

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Exnaboe and the rest of the Shetland Islands. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

When to call us in Exnaboe

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.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • Aftercare advice

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Exnaboe, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What affects the price in Exnaboe

There’s no charge for travel to Exnaboe. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
