Covering Lochmaddy
Lochmaddy (Gaelic: Loch nam Madadh) is in Na h-Eileanan Siar. We travel to customers in Lochmaddy, so there is no workshop to go to. We cover 87 places across Na h-Eileanan Siar, from the larger towns to small villages.
Here we cover the HS6 postcode area. We also travel to Clachan Shannda (5 miles north-west), Locheport (6 miles south-west), Ruisgarry (8 miles north), Claddach Kirkibost (9 miles west) and Leverburgh (12 miles north-east). Remote and island addresses take a little more planning, so it’s best to call first.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Lochmaddy
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:
- 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 before booking.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
Landlords, agents and businesses in Lochmaddy
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lochmaddy as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
DIY kit or professional repair?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
