Non-slip bath coating near Town Yetholm

Non-slip bath coating in Town Yetholm without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in the Scottish Borders. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Town Yetholm

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Town Yetholm. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Town Yetholm?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Town Yetholm

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Town Yetholm

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

Look out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
