Need non-slip bath coating in Finnieston?

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Finnieston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

We do not add 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 photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Finnieston

For anyone letting property in or around Finnieston, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repairing versus replacing in Finnieston

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Finnieston clients choose us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

FAQs for Finnieston

Will you leave a mess?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
