Non-slip bath coating near Holyrood

Non-slip bath coating in Holyrood 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 are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holyrood as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Holyrood

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

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

FAQs for Holyrood

What information do you need?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will the price change on the day?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Should you replace it?

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. 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.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What affects the price in Holyrood

We do not charge extra for travel to Holyrood. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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

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

Surfaces we repair

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