Non-slip bath coating in Tighnabruaich

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tighnabruaich as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Tighnabruaich

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take 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. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Everything repaired in place

Questions from Tighnabruaich

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Tighnabruaich is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What affects the price in Tighnabruaich

There is no charge for travel to Tighnabruaich. The price comes down to:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
