Non-slip bath coating near Longbar

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Longbar

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Longbar and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Longbar

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of North Ayrshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do you work in Longbar?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Longbar and the rest of North Ayrshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What affects the price in Longbar

There’s no charge for travel to Longbar. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Longbar. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Longbar

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

What happens on the day

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
