How we handle non-slip bath coating in Westfield

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No need to remove anything

Questions from Westfield

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you cover the whole of Edinburgh?

The whole UK, including all of Edinburgh. Just include your postcode and we’ll confirm dates.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you cover Westfield?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Westfield and the rest of Edinburgh. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westfield

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westfield use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Westfield. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material

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 play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Westfield

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
