Non-slip bath coating for Knightswood homes

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Knightswood

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Knightswood and across Glasgow. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Knightswood

For anyone letting property in or around Knightswood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Knightswood questions

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your G13 postcode.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What affects the price in Knightswood

There is no charge for travel to Knightswood. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
