Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

About our non-slip bath coating in Pollokshields

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. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Pollokshields and across Glasgow. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Pollokshields

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How your room will be protected
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in Pollokshields

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you quote from photos?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you charge for travel?

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

Do you come to Pollokshields?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
