Non-slip bath coating near Wilkieston

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Wilkieston

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wilkieston as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What affects the price in Wilkieston

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wilkieston

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Wilkieston as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will I see the coating?

Repair or replace in Wilkieston?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Wilkieston?

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

Common reasons people in Wilkieston contact us are:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
