Non-slip bath coating for Monreith homes

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Monreith

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For anyone letting property in or around Monreith, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Repair or replace in Monreith?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Common questions in Monreith

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dumfries and Galloway.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

What affects the price in Monreith

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Monreith get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Common problems we fix in Monreith

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who will actually do the work
