Non-slip bath coating in Pollokshaws without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

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

Pollokshaws: your questions answered

Are there extra charges for Pollokshaws?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Repair or replace in Pollokshaws?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common problems we fix in Pollokshaws

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
