Non-slip bath coating near Pitlochry

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Pitlochry

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Pitlochry

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pitlochry use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace in Pitlochry?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Pitlochry. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Common questions in Pitlochry

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Perth and Kinross. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

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

Send photos for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Pitlochry, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we’re called out for in Pitlochry

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
