Need non-slip bath coating in Mortonhall?

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Non-slip bath coating in Mortonhall, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Mortonhall and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Mortonhall

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Mortonhall

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Will you leave a mess?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally 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 price

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we’re called out for in Mortonhall

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
