Non-slip bath coating near Scottish Borders

About our non-slip bath coating in Scottish Borders

It suits 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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Scottish Borders

How do I book?

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

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Scottish Borders and the rest of the Scottish Borders. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Scottish Borders

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Scottish Borders

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace in Scottish Borders?

The alternatives are 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. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
