Non-slip bath coating for Midland homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Midland

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Midland

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Midland customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Common questions in Midland

Do you cover the whole of the Orkney Islands?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

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

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Midland?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your KW17 postcode.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

When we would advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 repair

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

How it works

Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Midland is about 9 miles south-west of Kirkwall, in the Orkney Islands. We work in every kind of home, from flats and terraces to detached houses and new builds, plus businesses and rented homes. Midland is one of 51 towns and villages in the Orkney Islands we cover.

All of KW17 is within our area. We also cover the places around Midland: Orphir (1 mile north-east), Clestrain (2 miles north-west), Kirbister (3 miles north-east), Germiston (4 miles north) and Clouston (5 miles north-west).

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Midland. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Midland. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Most customers in Midland get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.
