Non-slip bath coating for Little Ness homes

Repairing versus replacing in Little Ness

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Little Ness

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Little Ness?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Little Ness

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Little Ness

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
