Non-slip bath coating in Muirhouses

About our non-slip bath coating in Muirhouses

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

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Muirhouses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Muirhouses use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Muirhouses

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Muirhouses, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

FAQs for Muirhouses

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Muirhouses

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price
