Trusted non-slip bath coating in Nethermill

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Nethermill

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

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dumfries and Galloway. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Nethermill: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you work in Nethermill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Nethermill and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

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

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

Is it messy?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Common problems we fix in Nethermill

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.

Look out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Nethermill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
