Non-slip bath coating in Riccarton

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in East Ayrshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Riccarton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Riccarton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Riccarton customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Riccarton. What changes the price is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. Try to include:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

FAQs for Riccarton

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.
