Non-slip bath coating for Pinwherry homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Pinwherry

It’s popular with 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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

In a village or hamlet like Pinwherry, homes are frequently older cottages, farmhouses and barn conversions. Some have heavy cast iron baths or tight bathrooms, and getting a bath out along a lane or up narrow stairs is hard work. Non-slip bath coating in place avoids all of that.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pinwherry as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. In an older home in a village like Pinwherry, replacing a bath or shower tray can be harder than it sounds: original pieces may not match modern sizes, and access can be awkward. Repairing avoids those problems.

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used. In a village or hamlet like Pinwherry, access can be the only tricky part. Once on site, the job is the same as anywhere.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

10 questions to ask before you book

Pinwherry questions

Do you cover villages like Pinwherry?

Of course; we work in small places too. Tell us about lanes, gates and parking when you book.

I let a flat near Barrhill station. Can you help between tenants?

Yes, we often work between tenancies, and several addresses can be quoted together.

Do you work in Pinwherry?

We do. We send a technician to Pinwherry for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
