Non-slip bath coating for Pettinain homes

Pettinain questions

What areas do you cover?

All of South Lanarkshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Non-slip bath coating in Pettinain without replacing anything

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 are dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pettinain

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Common problems we fix in Pettinain

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
