Non-slip bath coating in Goldenacre

Non-slip bath coating in Goldenacre without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Goldenacre and across Edinburgh. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Goldenacre

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

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

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do you cover Goldenacre?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Goldenacre from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Goldenacre

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Goldenacre. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Goldenacre, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Common problems we fix in Goldenacre

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet 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:

  • 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

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
