Non-slip bath coating in Portsoy

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Portsoy

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Portsoy

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Portsoy

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover the whole of Aberdeenshire?

The whole UK, including all of Aberdeenshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Aberdeenshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
