Trusted non-slip bath coating in Port Elphinstone

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

Non-slip bath coating in Port Elphinstone without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Port Elphinstone

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Port Elphinstone use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Port Elphinstone

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Port Elphinstone: your questions answered

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Do you cover the whole of Aberdeenshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Port Elphinstone included. Travel is included in the price.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you work in Port Elphinstone?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Port Elphinstone and the rest of Aberdeenshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Port Elphinstone

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

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Port Elphinstone?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Same prices wherever you are
