Non-slip bath coating in Fordell Firs without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Fordell Firs as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fordell Firs

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Fife and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Common questions in Fordell Firs

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Fordell Firs is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you cover Fordell Firs?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Fordell Firs. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

What we are called out for in Fordell Firs

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.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before booking

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before booking

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Fordell Firs, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Fordell Firs?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
