Non-slip bath coating for Lochdon homes

Non-slip bath coating in Lochdon, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 Lochdon

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Lochdon

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

Landlord and trade work in Lochdon

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochdon use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
