Non-slip bath coating near Magdalene

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Magdalene. What changes the price is:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Magdalene

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Magdalene

Do you cover Magdalene?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Magdalene and the rest of Edinburgh. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are there extra charges for Magdalene?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Magdalene

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One visit for most repairs

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Magdalene

If you manage property in Magdalene, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
