Non-slip bath coating in Portree

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Portree

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered after we leave: 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Portree questions

Do you cover Portree?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Portree for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Portree?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your IV51 postcode.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portree use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
