Our technicians come to Glassford for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating in Glassford

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Glassford

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Glassford

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Glassford questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

What areas do you cover?

All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

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.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
