Non-slip bath coating near Strathbungo

About our non-slip bath coating in Strathbungo

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Strathbungo

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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will 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, a professional repair is worth it.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Strathbungo

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Do you come to Strathbungo?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Strathbungo. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Strathbungo. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
