Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sandwick
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Na h-Eileanan Siar.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Do I need to be at home?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Can you price it without visiting?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you cover Sandwick?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Sandwick and the rest of Na h-Eileanan Siar. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Non-slip bath coating in Sandwick without replacing anything
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Sandwick
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What your quote should include

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
How the visit works
We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HS1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Sandwick
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- What it’s made of, if you know
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
