Common problems we fix in Westrigg

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in Westrigg without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Westrigg and across West Lothian. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Westrigg clients choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Westrigg: your questions answered

Do you work in Westrigg?

We do. We send a technician to Westrigg for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
