Non-slip bath coating for Innerleithen homes

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Innerleithen. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Innerleithen

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. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Innerleithen

Instead, you could go for 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. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

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

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
