Non-slip bath coating for Shawlands homes

Non-slip bath coating in Shawlands without replacing anything

It suits 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 regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Same prices wherever you are

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Shawlands and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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.
