Non-slip bath coating near Lochfoot

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Non-slip bath coating in Lochfoot, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Lochfoot and across Dumfries and Galloway. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Lochfoot

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

10 questions to ask before you book

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Prices and what affects them

We do not charge extra for travel to Lochfoot. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Lochfoot, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Lochfoot

Lochfoot questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work in Lochfoot?

We do. We send a technician to Lochfoot for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

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

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. You are under no obligation.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
