How we handle non-slip bath coating in Locharbriggs

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Locharbriggs and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Locharbriggs?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

FAQs for Locharbriggs

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Dumfries and Galloway. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
