About our non-slip bath coating in Newmill

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Newmill questions

How do I book?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Newmill.

Are there extra charges for Newmill?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will I see the coating?

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

Are you accredited?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Moray and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

What we are called out for in Newmill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Newmill

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For a price in Newmill, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Newmill?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
