Non-slip bath coating in Old Kilpatrick

Non-slip bath coating in Old Kilpatrick without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs

If you’re in Old Kilpatrick and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Common problems we fix in Old Kilpatrick

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Who turns up on the day
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Old Kilpatrick?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Old Kilpatrick clients choose us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No need to remove anything

See our full price list.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Old Kilpatrick

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
