FAQs for Port Glasgow

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Port Glasgow is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Port Glasgow

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Port Glasgow

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

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Inverclyde and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. We leave the room clean.

  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, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Open a window if you can

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Port Glasgow. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
