Non-slip bath coating in Upper Kilchattan

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upper Kilchattan

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Upper Kilchattan. The price comes down to:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Upper Kilchattan?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Common questions in Upper Kilchattan

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Kilchattan

Instead, you could go for 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
