Non-slip bath coating near Rubislaw

About our non-slip bath coating in Rubislaw

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Rubislaw?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your AB15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Rubislaw

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business

Rubislaw: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. 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.

What we cannot put right

We will 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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