Non-slip bath coating near Glenlochar

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Glenlochar

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Dumfries and Galloway and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Glenlochar?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Glenlochar

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
