Trusted non-slip bath coating in Niddrie

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Niddrie

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Niddrie

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover Niddrie?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Niddrie. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Are there extra charges for Niddrie?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Niddrie, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

When to call us in Niddrie

Smooth surfaces are 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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
