How we handle non-slip bath coating in Michaelston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no charge for travel to Michaelston. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SA12 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
