Non-slip bath coating for Glenelg homes

Non-slip bath coating in Glenelg, 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. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repair or replace in Glenelg?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Take a look at our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

When to call us in Glenelg

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What preparation is included
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
