Non-slip bath coating for Longridge homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Longridge

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Longridge: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you cover the entire of West Lothian?

Across the UK, and that includes Longridge. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can tenants book a repair?

Do you work in Longridge?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Longridge from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

What a repair can’t fix

  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Longridge

We do not charge extra for travel to Longridge. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Longridge, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
