How we handle non-slip bath coating in Port Askaig

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Port Askaig

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Port Askaig

Will it make a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
