The things customers normally mention when they call are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before you book

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Liberton

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Liberton

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you work in Liberton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Liberton from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Landlord and trade work in Liberton

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

If you manage property in Liberton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Liberton. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Liberton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

If you’re in Liberton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repairing versus replacing in Liberton

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 adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces
