How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kilbarchan

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Kilbarchan

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Choosing a repair company

What we do, step by step

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. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Kilbarchan questions

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

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.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Repair or replace in Kilbarchan?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, 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 affects the price in Kilbarchan

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.
