Non-slip bath coating in Kirbister

Non-slip bath coating in Kirbister without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Kirbister

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover the entire of the Orkney Islands?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 generally cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

What we’re called out for in Kirbister

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Take a look at our pricing.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no area surcharge for Kirbister. What changes the price is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

For a price in Kirbister, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
