Questions from Piershill

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Piershill?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Piershill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Piershill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Piershill and the rest of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Non-slip bath coating in Piershill, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Repair or replace in Piershill?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Piershill. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
