Non-slip bath coating for Stenness homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Stenness

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Our hiring checklist

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in Stenness

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Everything repaired in place

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
