Non-slip bath coating near Strichen

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Strichen

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What affects the price in Strichen

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your AB43 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Strichen, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we are called out for in Strichen

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

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Strichen. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It usually takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

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’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
