Non-slip bath coating in Lochawe

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Lochawe

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Lochawe and across Argyll and Bute. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your PA33 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Common problems we fix in Lochawe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

We work in 118 places in Argyll and Bute, from the larger towns to small villages. Our jobs stretch from Lochawe to Glasgow (about 48 miles away).

Jobs in PA33 work the same way as everywhere else we cover. Whether you live on Old Military Road and St Conan's Road or a nearby road, a technician can come to you.

Lochawe questions

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do you cover the entire of Argyll and Bute?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are there extra charges for Lochawe?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochawe as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Lochawe clients choose us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for 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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.
