Non-slip bath coating in Kilcreggan

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Non-slip bath coating in Kilcreggan, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Kilcreggan: your questions answered

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Kilcreggan?

We do. Technicians travel to Kilcreggan from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Are there extra charges for Kilcreggan?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Kilcreggan

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • No need to remove anything

Take a look at our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Kilcreggan

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kilcreggan use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What affects the price in Kilcreggan

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in Kilcreggan and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Kilcreggan

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.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How soon you can use it again
