How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Garnkirk

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Garnkirk

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Garnkirk?

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, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Garnkirk

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Glasgow.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

All of Glasgow, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Common problems we fix in Garnkirk

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
