Non-slip bath coating near Salen

Landlord and trade work in Salen

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Salen as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Non-slip bath coating in Salen, done in place

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. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your PA72 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Salen

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you cover the whole of Argyll and Bute?

All of Argyll and Bute, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

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

Repair or replace in Salen?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • No need to remove anything
