About our non-slip bath coating in Halkirk

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Highland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Halkirk

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Halkirk and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Halkirk questions

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Highland. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Halkirk.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.
