How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shettleston

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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

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.

Common problems we fix in Shettleston

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing.

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Shettleston

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shettleston use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Shettleston questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Shettleston included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Shettleston. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
