Non-slip bath coating in New Pitsligo

Non-slip bath coating in New Pitsligo without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in New Pitsligo as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Repairing versus replacing in New Pitsligo

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common problems we fix in New Pitsligo

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

10 questions to ask before booking

New Pitsligo: your questions answered

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your AB43 postcode.

Will I see the coating?

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

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I clean it?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for New Pitsligo. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB43 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
