About our non-slip bath coating in Kingennie

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Kingennie

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Kingennie?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Kingennie. Prices don’t change with location.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your DD5 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Kingennie

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Most clients in Kingennie get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What a repair can’t fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Kingennie

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We leave the room as we found it

  • A fixed quote before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kingennie as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.
