Non-slip bath coating in Gardenstown

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gardenstown

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Gardenstown questions

How soon can you come?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Gardenstown?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gardenstown

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Gardenstown

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers usually mention when they call include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
