Non-slip bath coating in Johnstone

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Johnstone

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Johnstone questions

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

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

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your PA5 postcode.

Do you come to Johnstone?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Johnstone for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Johnstone?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Johnstone contact us include:

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

Choosing a repair company

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Johnstone. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Johnstone. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, 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

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
