Non-slip bath coating in Johnshaven without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Johnshaven

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Johnshaven

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Johnshaven as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Johnshaven: your questions answered

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Johnshaven?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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