Non-slip bath coating in Gorebridge

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Gorebridge

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. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

What affects the price in Gorebridge

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • The material

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Gorebridge?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Gorebridge: your questions answered

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Gorebridge and the rest of Midlothian. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
