Non-slip bath coating for Loaningfoot homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Loaningfoot

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Loaningfoot

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Loaningfoot questions

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will I see the coating?

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

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

Common problems we fix in Loaningfoot

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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