Non-slip bath coating for St Abbs homes

When we’d advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating in St Abbs, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

What we are called out for in St Abbs

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers generally contact us about:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Questions from St Abbs

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are there extra charges for St Abbs?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for St Abbs. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
