Non-slip bath coating in Portlethen

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Portlethen

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portlethen

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Portlethen questions

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you cover Portlethen?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Aberdeen, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Portlethen

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Portlethen. The price reflects:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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