Repairing versus replacing in Taobh Lochaidh

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

About our non-slip bath coating in Taobh Lochaidh

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. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

What we cannot put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Taobh Lochaidh?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
