Non-slip bath coating in Imeraval, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, 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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Argyll and Bute. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Imeraval
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Do the materials smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.
Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?
Everywhere in the UK, Imeraval included. There’s no extra charge for travel.
What do you need from me?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.
Repair or replace in Imeraval?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently 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.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
What affects the price in Imeraval
We charge the same across the UK, including Imeraval. What changes the price is:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How hard the colour is to match
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Imeraval. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A photo taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your PA42 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Imeraval
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Typical reasons for a call-out include:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- If travel is included in the price
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- What protection goes down before work starts
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long

What a repair can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we work on
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
What we do, step by step
When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Ensure the area is dry

Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
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, it’s worth having it done properly.
