Non-slip bath coating in Kirkpatrick-Fleming

Non-slip bath coating in Kirkpatrick-Fleming without replacing anything

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. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kirkpatrick-Fleming and across Dumfries and Galloway. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Our hiring checklist

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
