Non-slip bath coating near Settiscarth

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Settiscarth

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs

Landlords, agents and businesses in Settiscarth

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Settiscarth use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Settiscarth questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Settiscarth.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Settiscarth?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Settiscarth and the rest of the Orkney Islands. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What do you need from me?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your KW17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Settiscarth, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Settiscarth?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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