Non-slip bath coating in Glencoe, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Glencoe: your questions answered

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PH49 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Glencoe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
