Non-slip bath coating for Scatness homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Scatness

It suits 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. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Scatness. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ZE3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Scatness: your questions answered

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you work in Scatness?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Scatness from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Scatness?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of the Shetland Islands. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

When to call us in Scatness

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Take a look at our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
