About our non-slip bath coating in The Calders

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For a price in The Calders, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in The Calders.

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’ll say so.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

We work UK-wide, and that includes The Calders. Prices do not change with location.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
