About our non-slip bath coating in Gateside

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Gateside

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Gateside as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most clients in Gateside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Repair or replace in Gateside?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your KY14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Gateside questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

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

Do the materials smell?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Gateside and the rest of Fife. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.
