Need non-slip bath coating in Glengolly?

Non-slip bath coating in Glengolly without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlord and trade work in Glengolly

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glengolly use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Glengolly

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. 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. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Glengolly

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

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

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Glengolly.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What affects the price in Glengolly

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

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 booking.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Glengolly, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Glengolly?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
