Non-slip bath coating for Portvoller homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Portvoller

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Na h-Eileanan Siar. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Portvoller: your questions answered

What information do you need?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you come to Portvoller?

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

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Portvoller, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Portvoller, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
