Non-slip bath coating for Tayvallich homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tayvallich

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Tayvallich

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When a repair is not the answer

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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Questions from Tayvallich

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Tayvallich?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PA31 postcode.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Tayvallich included. Travel is included in the price.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

When to call us in Tayvallich

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Tayvallich and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
