Non-slip bath coating for New Galloway homes

Do you need non-slip bath coating in New Galloway?

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating in New Galloway without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Galloway as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in New Galloway

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do you cover the whole of Dumfries and Galloway?

Everywhere in the UK, New Galloway included. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Galloway use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
