Non-slip bath coating for Glencaple homes

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

If you’re in Glencaple and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Non-slip bath coating in Glencaple, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Glencaple

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • If travel is included in the price

Common questions in Glencaple

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Glencaple and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your DG1 postcode.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Glencaple?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 frequently lifts.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
